The Paris Court of Appeal rejected, on Tuesday, July 2, the request of the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati to have the statute of limitations recognized and to end the prosecutions against her for corruption, in particular since 2021 in part of the Carlos Ghosn affair, franceinfo learned on Tuesday, July 2 from the minister’s lawyers.
The investigating chamber of the court of appeal “did not grant Rachida Dati’s request” And “We will advise Mrs. Dati to appeal to the Court of Cassation because we believe that the law is in our favor.”two of his lawyers, Olivier Pardo and Olivier Bluche, told the press. “This decision does not in any way prejudice the substance or the innocence of Mrs. Dati,” they added.
Indicted since 2021 for corruption and passive influence peddling by a person holding a public elective mandate, Rachida Dati had once again raised the statute of limitations of the facts before the investigating chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal. She had already done so in 2021, in vain. The former mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris is suspected of having received 900,000 euros from a subsidiary of the Renault-Nissan alliance, without compensation for real work, between 2010 and 2012, when she was a lawyer and Member of the European Parliament (2009-2019).
