Rath trial continues as ex-minister again fails to finish address

The corruption trial of David Rath will continue for at least another day after the former politician failed on Tuesday to finish a concluding address that had begun the day before. Mr. Rath’s speech has so far gone on for six hours in total. The former Social Democrat regional governor and health minister was arrested in 2012 on suspicion of accepting bribes to rig contracts. Several others accused alongside him have been found guilty in a separate trial.
