Rachida Dati defends absences at corruption trial in France
Former French minister Rachida Dati appeared before the Paris criminal court to face charges of corruption and influence peddling. Prosecutors allege she received 900,000 euros from Renault-Nissan for lobbying at the European Parliament between 2009 and 2013, an act prohibited under her parliamentary mandate. Dati denies the claims, asserting her work was strictly legal counsel.
