The French right-wing populist Marine Le Pen was guilty of the eclipse of EU funds in court. In the future it will no longer be able to compete in elections. The punishment comes into effect immediately, the prohibition remains in the event of an appeal.
The chairman of the Racial Emblemen Nationaal (Marginal) party has few prospects to compete in the presidential elections of 2027.
The 56-year-old and numerous other co-accused, including nine former EU parliamentarians, was accused of creating a system of false activity in the EU parliament.
Politician claimed innocence
The central accusation was that Le Pens Party received money for parliamentary assistants from the European Parliament, but they had actually worked for the party. The damage incurred in 2004 and 2017 was estimated at seven million euros. “I don’t feel that I have committed the least impact on the least illegality,” said the most important suspect in the process.
LE PENT Father accused, declared unable to process processes
Le pen father Jean-Marie was originally accused. Due to his poor health status, the founder of the party was previously unable to process under the name Front National Party. In January of this year, the extremist from the right side died at the age of 96.
