Le Pen found guilty of graft, barred from 2027 French presidency race
Business Standard
|April 01, 2025
Far-Right leader Marine Le Pen's presidential ambitions were dealt a potential death blow after she was convicted of embezzlement by a French court and barred from running in the 2027 election.
Judges at the Paris criminal court found Le Pen and her National Rally party guilty of diverting millions of euros in European Union funds to finance activities related to their domestic agenda.
Le Pen was sentenced to two years in prison, with two more suspended, and given an immediate five-year election ban, complicating her ambitions of taking over from Emmanuel Macron in 2027.
Judges suggested the two years could be served under electronic surveillance.
