PARIS, May 26 (AFP) - The trial of the former head of France's biggest cancer charity was suspended Wednesday after the accused fell ill in court and was hospitalized. The court said the trial of Jacques Crozemarie, who suffered a sudden drop in blood pressure during the first day of the trial on Tuesday, would resume on Monday. Crozemarie's attorney Jean-Marc Varaut meanwhile denounced criticism by the civil parties to the trial who questioned the sudden illnesses that have befallen Varaut's other famous clients during their trial, including French wartime official Maurice Papon and former mercenary Bob Denard. Both were taken ill during their trial and taken to hospital. Crozemarie, the 73-year-old founder of the giant ARC charity and research institute, is accused of embezzling millions of francs donated for cancer research. He is charged with misappropriating between 200 and 300 million francs (30.5 and 45.7 million euros) between 1990 and 1995 and faces five years in jail if convicted. Under his leadership, the Association for Cancer Research (ARC) is alleged to have diverted two-thirds of the donations sent by 3.5 million people each year in the belief they were supporting medical progress. Crozemarie, along with 25 others in the dock for embezzlement, stands accused of milking ARC funds to refurbish his properties, travel abroad, pay domestic staff and maintain mistresses. The defendant, who suffers from heart trouble and is reported to have attempted suicide last February, appeared at the trial Tuesday walking slowly with the aid of a cane. His trial is expected to last until early July.
