The trial’s outcome will heavily impact the political landscape as a conviction could block Marine Le Pen’s presidential aspirations for 2027, marking a significant threat.
Prosecutors allege that from 2004 to 2016, funds intended for the expenses of parliamentary roles were misappropriated for the operational costs of the National Rally.
Marine Le Pen claims the case against her and her party is driven by political motivations rather than legitimate legal concerns surrounding the alleged misuse of EU funds.
Should Le Pen and her co-defendants be found guilty, they face severe penalties, including prison time and potential disqualification from future political office.
