A sentence of "ineligibility," which would ban her from being elected to public office, may await Marine Le Pen on March 31, when the Paris Correctional Court judges are due to hand down their decision in the case of the far-right Front National (FN) party's allegedly fake European parliamentary assistant jobs. Against Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National (RN, renamed from FN in 2018), on trial for "misappropriation of public funds and complicity," the prosecutors' office requested, on November 13, 2024, a five-year prison sentence, including three years suspended, and a five-year ban on being elected to public office, effective immediately.
