# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Paris in January 1955, Sarkozy climbed from mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1983 through budget and interior ministries to lead the UMP party. He won the presidency in 2007 with 53.1% against Ségolène Royal, navigating the 2008 crash, European debt crisis, and negotiating a ceasefire in the Russo-Georgian War. He reformed universities and pensions, married Carla Bruni at the Élysée in 2008, then lost reelection to François Hollande by 3.2% in 2012. A brief return as party leader ended with primary defeat in 2016. Prosecutors charged him with corruption tied to alleged Libyan election interference; he was convicted in two separate trials in 2021, handed a three-year sentence and later a revised six months. In September 2025 a court found him guilty of criminal conspiracy with Gaddafi, sentencing him to five years and a €100,000 fine. He entered La Santé Prison in late October, released three weeks later under conditions barring contact with justice ministry staff.
