Chirac, who led France from 1995 to 2007, was "hospitalised this morning at Pitie-Salpetriere (hospital in Paris) to be treated for a lung infection," Frederic Salat-Baroux told AFP, adding he would remain there "in the coming days." In December 2015, he spent two weeks in hospital, suffering from what his family described as fatigue. In recent weeks, his entourage said his health had improved. He was handed a two-year suspended prison term for colluding in the creation of 28 fake jobs for party workers when he served as Paris mayor.
