Marine Le Pen convicted of embezzlement, future in doubt
Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right National Rally party, was convicted by a French court for embezzling public funds in a scheme involving the misappropriation of EU parliamentary expenses between 2004 and 2016. Alongside Le Pen, eight other party members were found guilty, and they face potential prison sentences of up to 10 years. The court has yet to announce sentences, but prosecutors have recommended a five-year suspended jail term and an immediate five-year ban from holding public office, which could bar Le Pen from the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen has vehemently denied the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated and warning that such a ruling would disenfranchise her supporters. If she is unable to run, Jordan Bardella, her protégé, is expected to succeed her as the party leader and candidate. The case is seen as a significant blow to Le Pen's political ambitions, as she was a strong contender in upcoming elections.
