From Times Wire Reports
A French appeals court in Versailles reduced the sentence for former Prime Minister Alain Juppe in a party financing scandal, opening the door for his possible return to national politics.
The court sentenced Juppe to a 14-month suspended prison term, down from 18 months, and barred him from elected office for just one year, instead of 10.
Theoretically, Juppe could run in 2007, when presidential and legislative elections are scheduled.
