Michèle Alliot-Marie will be tried in July in a case of illegal taking of interests in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The former minister is targeted for her alleged role in paying subsidies to an association chaired by her father when she was deputy mayor.
A judicial investigation was opened in 2013 in Nanterre. The investigation highlighted subsidies from the town hall to the association which organized the city's Young Directors Festival and was headed by Bernard Marie, who died in 2015.
