    I believe that in French law, for sentence up to two year, you have the right to ask for an alternative to jail. And considering that she isn’t homeless and has a steady job, she’ll get house-arrest out of business hours. (But it’s not just for politicians and billionaire, just that the average convict doesn’t have a house and a steady job, so their case is kinda empty at this stage)

    But loosing her right to run for election is a pretty big one.
