Investigating magistrates accuse her of “extreme negligence on the part of a minister tasked with accomplishing political affairs,” pronouncing Lagarde’s actions led to a gross “misuse of public money”.
Others face fraud fees over the affair, such as Tapie, his lawyer, one of the arbitrators, Lagarde’s former chief of personnel in the finance ministry and the modern head of the telecom organization Orange, Stephane Richard.
Hearings in Lagarde’s trial should take area from the hole on December 12 until December 20, a judicial source instructed Agence France-Presse.
She may be judged by using a panel of 3 judges and 12 MPs selected from France’s higher and lower houses of parliament.
