Chirac Under Investigation - Again!

Former French president Jock Chirac is again under investigation on allegations of corruption while he was Mayor of Paris. This time Jock is accused of creating fake positions for the purpose of hiring his supporters.

From Al-Jazeera --

The move, which could mark the first step towards criminal charges, came after Chirac was interviewed for three hours on Wednesday by Xaviere Simeoni, the investigating judge.

Chirac's lawyer, Jean Veil, said: "Mr Chirac has been placed under judicial investigation for misappropriation of public funds, as several other people have already been in this case."

He has consistently denied any wrongdoing in a series of corruption cases dating back to his period as the capital's mayor between 1977 and 1995. More...
