FRANCE-JUSTICE-POLITICS-COURT-FRAUD

French former budget minister Jerome Cahuzac (C) reacts as he leaves Paris' courthouse on February 21, 2018 on the last day of his appeal trial on tax fraud and money laundering. The Paris Court of Appeal will give its decision, on May 15, 2018, concerning former Budget Minister Jerome Cahuzac. French prosecutors asked on February 20, 2018 a court to uphold the three-year, tax-fraud sentence of a former Socialist budget minister who stashed hundreds of thousands of euros in a Swiss bank account. Jerome Cahuzac was forced to resign from government in 2013 after it emerged that that he had been squirreling away undeclared cash from his lucrative Parisian hair transplant clinic. / AFP PHOTO / Eric FEFERBERG (Photo credit should read ERIC FEFERBERG/AFP via Getty Images)
