Rachida Dati, former Minister of Justice (2007-2009), was indicted on July 22 for "passive corruption" and "concealment of abuse of power" in the investigation into his consulting services to the former CEO of the Renault-Nissan alliance Carlos Ghosn, the national financial prosecutor's office said on Tuesday, July 27, confirming information from the Chained Duck.
