Former President Jacques Chirac of France is to stand trial in a second party financing case dating to his tenure as mayor of Paris, from 1977 to 1995, judicial officials said Monday. Mr. Chirac, 77, is already set to stand trial in March in one longstanding corruption case. An investigating judge in the Paris suburb of Nanterre has now ordered him tried for “illegal conflict of interest” in a similar case, the officials said. Mr. Chirac, above, has been dogged for years by allegations that he set up a system to feed millions of dollars to his former political party.
