A Paris court has found former French president Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of illegal campaign financing over his failed 2012 re-election bid. Sarkozy didn't show up in court for the verdict and was represented by his lawyer. It was the second guilty verdict this year for Sarkozy, who led France from 2007 to 2012. The court has yet to announce his sentence.
