FRANCE-POLITICS-TRIAL-VILLEPIN
French ex-prime minister Dominique de Villepin, speaks to the presse as he leaves the French court after the verdict in his Clearstream trial on January 28, 2010 in Paris. The court acquitted de Villepin of charges of plotting to smear Nicolas Sarkozy to sabotage his presidential bid. The court ruled there were no grounds to convict the 56-year-old politician of complicity to slander Sarkozy in 2004, when the two men were angling to succeed president Jacques Chirac. The acquittal was an outright victory for Villepin in the five-year legal saga and was seen as bolstering his chances of a political comeback as he sets his sights on the 2012 presidential vote.
