French Polynesia's president Edouard Fritch has appeared in court charged with flouting Covid-19 restrictions at the height of the pandemic last year.
In August, he was at the wedding of vice-president Tearii Alpha, which was attended by more than 400 people, including almost the entire government.
The prosecution has asked for a $US3,200 fine for the president, with the verdict to be announced on 2 June.
RNZ Pacific senior journalist Walter Zweifel has been following the story.
Kia ora Walter so tell us more about the incident in question here.
