He's gonna be able to
leave the prison of Health in Paris on Wednesday.
First for a former tenant of Beauveau, Claude Guéant had been placed in detention on December 13, the justice having estimated that he did not settle in time the sums which he had been ordered to pay, in 2017, in the case of the cash bonuses of the Ministry of the Interior.

A few days after his imprisonment, the former right-hand man of Nicolas Sarkozy made a request for adjustment, examined on January 19 by a sentence enforcement judge, who put his decision under advisement on Monday.
According to his lawyer, he “fully paid” his debt
The one who was also prefect, director general of the national police and secretary general of the presidency was condemned on January 21 in his absence in another file, that of the Elysée polls.
He was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, including eight months for favoritism, with a deferred committal order.
If he leaves prison, however, he will not return for this sentence: he has indeed appealed, which suspends the application of this sanction until a second trial.
In January, Me Philippe Bouchez El-Ghozi had argued that his client had "completely paid" his debt on December 16 via loans granted by his relatives, and that in prison, his "health situation (could only) be degrade, in view of the triple pathology" from which he suffers.
