Former French culture minister Rachida Dati is on trial in Paris over alleged corruption linked to Renault-Nissan. Prosecutors say the €900,000 she received as legal fees while serving as a European parliament member was payment for prohibited lobbying, while her lawyers insist she worked exclusively as a lawyer. Carlos Ghosn is being tried in absentia alongside her.
