Paris: The former French Prime Minister, Alain Juppe, who is fighting a corruption conviction that may end his political career, admitted on Wednesday that he had committed ``errors, even faults,'' but insisted that he had never intended to break the law. Mr. Juppe, President Jacques Chirac's most loyal lieutenant and for long his chosen successor, was given an 18-month suspended sentence earlier this year and barred from elected office for 10 years for a political financing scandal involving a fake jobs scam at Paris town hall. On the first day of his appeal hearing, Mr. Juppe, who has resigned as a member of France's Parliament and head of Mr. Chirac's centre-right party UMP to fight his case, said he did not claim to be above reproach.
