Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - PARIS — French far-right leader and presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen has been sentenced to four years in prison — two of them suspended — and barred from holding political office for five years in a high-profile corruption case involving European Parliament funds, French media reported Monday.
The Paris court also imposed a €100,000 ($108,000) fine on Le Pen and ordered her National Rally party to pay €2 million for its role in the embezzlement scheme.
Le Pen, once considered a front-runner for the 2027 presidential election, was found guilty along with eight other Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) of misusing more than €3 million ($3.27 million) in EU funds to pay party staff in France. Twelve parliamentary assistants tried alongside them were also convicted of receiving stolen goods.
