French Politician in Paternity Row

Justice Minister Rachida Dati is trying to get a tycoon who claims he was one of eight lovers to take a DNA test

FRANCE'S first woman justice minister had up to EIGHT lovers on the go, it was claimed yesterday.

Rachida Dati is in a legal battle to try to force tycoon Dominique Desseigne to say he fathered her daughter Zohra, three.

Desseigne, 68, who is refusing to take a DNA test, insists he is one of many who had an "adventure" with Ms Dati, 47 — which will further the philandering reputation of French politicians.
