Sarkozy Stripped of Legion of Honour After Corruption Conviction

Sarkozy Stripped of Legion of Honour After Corruption Conviction

Imagine France has a very special award called the Legion of Honour, given to people who have done great things.

Nicolas Sarkozy, who used to be the president of France, had this award.

However, he was found guilty of doing some bad things, like using his position to be corrupt.

Because of this, the government decided to take away his award.

It's like if you won a prize but then did something wrong, the prize would be taken back.

This happened because of a court case, and it's official now.
