The Correctional Court of Paris reads the punishment and it is expected that it will indicate the fine in the coming minutes, for whom the FSCALIA has requested five years in prison, 300,000 euros from a fine and five years of disqualification immediately.
The leader of the French extreme right -wing Marine Le Pen and another eight euros of her party were convicted on Monday for distracting funds from the European Parliament.
During the trial against Le Pen and a further 26 members of his party, who was held in September last year, the office of the public prosecutor against the National Refreshment Party (RN) asked five years in prison, three of them were exempt from compliance, two troops, although not between the bars, 300,000 euros of fine and five years of diswalification. “I don’t think (the jury members) will come so far,” Le Pen said in statements to the weekly Dimanche published this weekend.
If the court were to follow the criteria of the public ministry, Le Pen would see his fourth career for the presidency of France, with new elections planned for 2027, after reaching twice, always in increasing progression.
Although from the first day, PEN has refused to regard this process as a political process, in the last days of this he put the implications on the table that “for democracy”: “Behind me there are eleven million people who voted on the movement that I represent. Millions of French who would be robbed of their candidate.”

At the point of that conspiracy, according to the office of the public prosecutor, the father of the current leader of the extreme right, Jean-Marie Le Pen-Was European delegate was for more than 30 years of whose daughter Marine continued with the system.
According to the accusation, Le Pen used the money to pay the salary of his head of the cabinet and his personal bodyguard, and it is assumed that many others of the alleged parliamentary assistants hardly stepped into the European Parliament.
