France's culture minister to be tried for corruption
Dati, a 59-year-old who holds ambitions to become Paris mayor next year, was charged in 2019 on suspicions she lobbied for the Renault-Nissan carmaking group while at the European Union institution. She denies the allegations. Dati is accused of accepting €900,000 in lawyer's fees between 2010 and 2012 from a Netherlands-based subsidiary of Renault-Nissan, but not really working for them, while she was an MEP from 2009 to 2019. Investigations have sought to determine whether she was in fact lobbying in the European Parliament for the carmaker, an activity that is forbidden. Advertisement French investigating magistrates also ordered that Carlos Ghosn, the ex-tycoon of Renault-Nissan, be tried, the judicial source said. The 71-year-old, who has been living in Lebanon for years after escaping arrest in Japan, has also rejected the charges against him. A hearing on September 29th will decide on the date of the trial, the source said. According to another source following the case, the trial could be held after the Paris municipal elections, which will be held in March next year. Dati, a daughter of working-class North African immigrants, has repeatedly sought without success to have the charges against her quashed. She is a right-winger who served in Nicolas Sarkozy's government but has recently been brought back into government as culture minister under the centrist François Bayrou. Ghosn, the former chairman and chief executive of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, was arrested in Japan in November 2018 on suspicion of financial misconduct, before being sacked by Nissan's board in a unanimous decision. He jumped bail late the following year and made a dramatic escape from Japan hidden in an audio-equipment box, landing in Beirut, where he remains as an international fugitive. Both Japan and France have sought his arrest.

Rixo launches UK resale platform with generous terms
Ten years after the business launched and with plenty of its pieces now in circulation, vintage-inspired contemporary womenswear brand Rixo has launched a resale operation called Rixo Pre-Loved. The company said of this: 'Since launching in 2015, we've been committed to creating future vintage that people cherish and pass down through generations. Rixo Pre-Loved is our new official resale platform only available to UK customers, that further cements our commitment to creating timeless treasures and breathes new life into your past loves.' Customers are able to both buy and sell Rixo pieces — whether pre-owned by them or sourced directly from the company. The platform will include 'rare gems and one-of-a-kind styles, including exclusive, hand-picked pieces from our founders' Henrietta and Orlagh's own wardrobes'. To sell their items, shoppers need to take photos of their piece(s) and answer 'a few quick questions before submitting for review'. Once an item has been approved and sold, the seller will be emailed a pre-paid shipping label. The terms seem quite generous and payment will happen after the item has been received, coming either as the resale value or 110% in-store credit to shop new Rixo pieces. The development comes after a busy period for the company. The London-based firm set foot in Ireland physically for the first time in May with the label opening its first store there in upmarket outlet destination Kildare Village. And last autumn it released its debut homewares collection, 'Casa Rixo', aiming to 'bring the Rixo aesthetic to the home'. Just under a year ago, it made the New York City Prince Street pop-up it had launched a few months earlier into a permanent retail store 'in response to the tremendous success and positive feedback from the local community and visitors since the store's opening'. The positive impact of the pop-up had contributed to an increase of 43% in direct sales (both store and e-commerce) in the US since it opened. But while it has been very active on the store opening front generally, the investment required has dented its profits. Its latest set of accounts — for 2023/24 — were filed this spring and showed revenue dipping marginally in an 'uncertain market with subdued consumer spending in a period of difficult trading conditions'. But operating profit was down to just over £303,000 from £2.3 million a year earlier. Profit before tax also dropped sharply to £391,000 from £2.3 million and net income fell to £251,000, down from £1.8 million. The company's administrative expenses increased from £9.2 million in the previous financial year to £11.2 million as it continued to build brand awareness by investment in digital and brand marketing alongside opening stores.

Which European countries have the most powerful passports in 2025?
Europe dominates the latest global passport rankings, but not all countries are rising with the tide. The Henley Passport Index, which uses exclusive data sourced from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to rank the world's passports by how many destinations they allow visa-free access to, has just released its 2025 update. European countries once again dominate the top tier. Singapore claimed the top spot for the second year in a row, offering visa-free access to 193 destinations. Japan and South Korea follow in joint second with 190 destinations. After that, it's a litany of European countries. Seven EU nations – Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain – now share third place globally, with visa-free access to 189 destinations. Close behind are Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, all ranked fourth with access to 188 destinations. Greece, Switzerland and New Zealand round out the top five. Two European countries lag behind the leaders In total, 28 European countries appear in the global top 10, buoyed by Schengen Area access and strong diplomatic relationships. But Europe's strength is not uniform. Belarus ranks lowest on the continent at 62nd, just behind Kosovo at 61st. Offering visa-free access to 81 and 82 destinations, respectively, both fall well below the global average of 109. While Kosovo has made limited diplomatic progress in recent years, both remain largely excluded from wider visa liberalisation efforts, especially in Western countries. The UK and US keep losing ground Some of the biggest shifts in the rankings involve Western countries that were former leaders. The UK, which topped the index in 2015, has dropped another place to sixth, with visa-free access to 186 destinations. The US, which ranked first in 2014, is now 10th, with access to 182 destinations – its lowest-ever position in the index's 20-year history. Henley & Partners, the Chicago-based citizenship by investment consultancy behind the rankings, attributes the decline to increasingly restrictive entry policies in both countries. In contrast, countries such as the United Arab Emirates (now 8th), Saudi Arabia (54th) and China (60th) are rising fast by expanding visa-waiver agreements and easing entry requirements. 'Access is earned - and must be maintained,' said Christian Kaelin, the Switzerland-born chairman of Henley & Partners. 'Those that invest in diplomatic relationships tend to rise.'
