Max Strauss, son of former Bavarian premier Franz Josef Strauss, awaits the first day of his trial in an Augsburg courtroom, January 20, 2004. A court ruled last week that Strauss, who suffers from depression and receives treatment at a Munich mental hospital, is healthy enough to go on trial. He is accused of tax evasion and fraud arising from deals with weapons handlers. REUTERS/Alexandra Winkler AX/JOH/JV
