A MAGISTRATE said Monday that former French president Jacques Chirac will stand trial on a second set of corruption charges dating to the 1990s when he was mayor of Paris, an official said.
Investigating magistrate Jacques Gazeaux decided to refer Chirac, 77, to a criminal court over the case involving alleged use of public funds to pay salaries to his political allies, said a judicial official who asked not to be named.
