Christine Lagarde to stand trial

Place your bets on a back room deal sees her walk free. :03:

I find this very hard to believe this will go all the way to see her in the dock.

A charge of negligence in the use of public money carries a one-year jail sentence and a €15,000 fine.
Even if found guilty, take into account the trial costs and figure out how big a further waste of money....public money.

French money Jim, who cares apart from the French. :) :03:

I just have this feeling a deal will be made behind closed doors, probably some peanut fine that adds up to a joke. If this is the case just more evidence of corruption in high places.

She wasn't even in court to witness the outcome.
