  Tapie had supported Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential election. She is accused of allowing the misuse 3 of public funds, rather than corruption 4. She denies any wrongdoing.
  塔皮曾在2007年为萨科齐竞选总统提供支持。拉加德未面临贪污指控,而是被控允许滥用公共资金。拉加德本人否认自己有任何过错。
  Member of her legal team Christopher Baker 5 said that Lagarde was pleased to be able to lay out her case.
  她的律师团队成员克里斯托弗·贝克表示,拉加德很愿意阐明自己的立场。
  If Lagarde is convicted, she could face up to a year in jail and a fine of 15,000 euros. And a maximum sentence could raise questions about the widely respected policymaker's ability to continue as head of the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
  如果被定罪,拉加德可能面临一年的监禁和15000欧元的罚款。如果被判处最高的惩罚,则这位备受尊敬的决策者还能否继续担任IMF总裁一职将存疑。
  A panel of 15, including 12 lawmakers from both the lower and upper houses of parliament, will hear the case, which is scheduled to run until December 20.
  在15人的陪审团中,有12人是来自两院(上、下议院)的立法者,将会参与审理此案,而庭审定于12月20日结束。
