Marine le Pen on trial for alleged EU funds misuse
If found guilty, the French presidential hopeful could be ineligible to run for office for up to 10 years.
Marine Le Pen, long-time leader of France’s far-right National Rally and presidential hopeful, goes on trial in Paris on Monday accused of misusing European parliamentary funds.
More than 20 other senior figures in the party are also facing the same charges. They are accused of hiring assistants who worked on party affairs rather than for the European parliament which paid them.
If Le Pen is found guilty, she could face fines and imprisonment – and potentially be declared ineligible to run for office for up to 10 years, hitting her presidential ambitions.
It's getting pretty hopeless to see all these political figures so often put in front of a judge, but it seldom has an impact on their career. Never imprisoned, fines are hardly a problem considering how rich (or friend of rich people) most of them are, or they have someone to take the fall.
These days, it's even an advantage to be prosecuted or condemned, making them appear as victims.
They went as far as producing fake documents to cover up their embezzlement, and got busted...
ONE letter away from Nostril....
Is this the same lady who was outlasted by a cabbage or do all these cretins have the same bone structure?
No, that was Liz Truss, the British prime minister and it was a lettuce.
