FRANCE-POLITICS-CORRUPTION-TRIAL-CHIRAC
French former Paris mayor chief of staff Michel Roussin arrives at Paris courthouse prior to the opening hearing of France's former President Jacques Chirac's trial, charged with eight other people, on March 7, 2011. Chirac, 78, has to face corruption charges, accused of using public money to pay people working for his party while he was mayor of Paris between 1977 and 1995. The whole proceeding could come to a halt once again, if the lawyer working for one his co-defendants succeeds in getting a procedural element of the case referred upwards to France's constitutional court. If convicted, Chirac faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of 150,000 euros (210,000 dollars) on charges including embezzlement and breach of trust. AFP PHOTO JACQUES DEMARTHON
