French prosecutors seek prison, office ban for ex-minister Dati in graft trial

French prosecutors requested a two-year electronic-tag sentence and five-year ban on public office for former culture minister Rachida Dati over corruption charges tied to Renault-Nissan dealings. The verdict is due in January 2026; Dati's lawyers contest the severity. This marks a notable legal escalation for a high-profile former minister, though the outcome remains uncertain.
