The president and two other women are facing a charge of attempting to defeat the course of justice.
The charges were brought following an inquiry after a police assault case was withdrawn three years ago.
A senior police officer, who has been suspended, had been charged separately in relation to the same case, but the prosecution wants both cases heard together.
