François Fillon, once a leading contender for the French presidency, returns to court on Tuesday for a third trial over the fake jobs scandal that torpedoed his 2017 campaign. Judges are to review the penalties and damages but not the guilty verdict.
Fillon will appear Tuesday before the Paris appeals court, where judges will rule on compliance with the rules of law and not the merits of the case itself, which relates to a fake jobs scandal involving his wife.
