The Paris Court of Appeal has rejected Rachida Dati's request to annul the final indictment issued by the Parquet National Financier (PNF) that demands she be tried for corruption and passive influence peddling in connection with the Renault-Nissan case involving former CEO Carlos Ghosn. Following this judicial setback, Dati, France's Minister of Culture, is now facing a trial alongside Ghosn. The charges relate to allegations of corruption and influence trafficking, specifically involving consultant payments. The court's decision moves the case closer to prosecution, with judges ordering both Dati and Ghosn to stand trial. The ruling has drawn political reactions, including calls from the Socialist Party's secretary-general Pierre Jouvet for Dati's resignation, labeling her a "thug". The president of the Paris judicial tribunal criticized the public disparagement directed at magistrates handling the case.
