Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is releasing a memoir of his brief 20-day stint in prison, set for publication exactly one month after his sentence concluded.

Sarkozy served as president from 2007 to 2012. His criminal conviction in September stemmed from around this time, with a French court finding him guilty of being involved in a scheme to funnel millions of Euros from Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi into his presidential campaign. He was sentenced to five years in prison for criminal conspiracy on Sept. 25.
