The 'will she, won't she' saga of whether Christine Lagarde will stand trial in France looks to be settled

Not new news but the French Supreme court has ruled that the IMF head will stand trial over the Tapie case for alleged negligence after signing off an arbitration decision in favour of Bernard Tapie. At the time she was finance minister to vertically challenged Nicolas Sarkozy.

Little old Sarkozy

The ruling goes against a French ministerial recommendation to drop the case. I'm not sure when the trial is but Madame Lagarde is sure to get hot under the collar when it comes around, assuming she doesn't go on the lam.

Is it a bird...?
