French ex-culture minister Rachida Dati goes on trial in Carlos Ghosn graft case
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported1m ago
France's former culture minister Rachida Dati is standing trial in a Paris court on corruption charges. The case concerns allegations that Dati received €900,000 in legal fees from a Netherlands-based subsidiary of Renault-Nissan while she was serving as a member of the European Parliament. Prosecutors allege the payments were linked to lobbying efforts on behalf of the automotive alliance.
The trial centers on a contract signed in October 2009 between Dati and former Renault-Nissan executive Carlos Ghosn. The proceedings are considered high-profile due to Dati's political background and the involvement of the fugitive businessman in the underlying graft allegations.
