http://www.france24.com/en/20150407-french-ex-mayor-commits-suicide-start-chinese-weddings-fraud-trial/

Jean Germain served as City of Tours Mzyor till last year wheb he was defeated by center right.
Apparently the fraud accusations were more against his main aide. But he was stilk charged..
He was a member of Socialist party.

The story souds like a sad reminiscense of 1993 when former PM Pierre Beregovoy commited suicide after proven fake accusations .

At Beregovoys funeral then President François Mitterand said " how could had a mans honnor be trown a feed to the dogs? "
