Doesn't he get indicted for fraud as soon as he leaves office..?
I think he could be but the cowards will give the puke a pass. IMHO
Well I thought it was bribary not fraud. But in any case it would be highly unusual for a French politician to get convicted for a practice as widespread as bribary is in France. I think it is not going to happen. The Europeans in general do not have the same negative view of bribary as we Americans do. It is just "business" to them.
Yes, which is why he wants Villipen to become the next president. Its been said that Villipen have worked out a deal where the title of "senator for life" bestowed to Chirac, so legally, he can't be charged with any crimes once he leaves office.
