Marine Le Pen condenada por se apropriar de fundos europeus

March 31, 2025 - A condenação da líder da extrema direita francesa por apropriação de fundos da UE ameaça a sua candidatura à presidência em 2027.

The momentous decision means Le Pen will likely not be able to stand in the 2027 French presidential election. It would have been her fourth attempt, and the one offering the greatest chance of victory.

Judges imposed immediate ineligibility with her conviction, meaning the ban on holding public office will now come into effect even if Le Pen appeals.

She has also been given a four-year prison sentence, of which two will be suspended. The other two can be spent with an electronic tag rather than in custody.

Le Pen has also been given a €100,000 fine.

She will very likely appeal the jail sentence, so it will not apply now, the BBC said.
