Rachida Dati was questioned for a second time on Monday, September 21, as part of her criminal trial for corruption and influence peddling.
The former minister is suspected of having been paid by Renault-Nissan to lobby on behalf of the automotive group in the European Parliament between 2009 and 2013, which her mandate as a Member of the European Parliament prohibited.
She categorically denied these accusations and justified her integrity by citing her absenteeism in the European Parliament chamber.
