French energy giant Total was back in a Paris court Wednesday facing renewed efforts to prosecute it for corruption linked to the UN's "oil-for-food" programme established for Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule. More than a dozen defendants, including Total, its former chief executive and a former French minister were cleared of corruption in 2013 after an eight-year investigation.
