February 12, 2026·12 days ago·via Gamereactor UK
A Paris appeals court closes Marine Le Pen's trial over alleged misuse of European Parliament funds through fake jobs, with a verdict set for July 7 that could bar the far-right leader from her strongest shot at the French presidency in 2027. Prosecutors push to uphold a five-year office ban, four-year prison term with suspension, and hefty fines after a lower court nailed her and her National Rally party for siphoning €2.9 million from 2004-2016.
