An investigation into French President Jacques Chirac’s 2.2 million euro ($3.7 million) food bill while he was was mayor of Paris has been dropped after the current mayor admitted he had exhausted all legal options in the case.
A Paris appeals court last week dismissed the case against Mr Chirac and his wife Bernadette over the tab they ran up between 1987 and 1995, saying time had run out under the statute of limitations.
Emphais mine.
