A French court on Monday, March 31, convicted far-right leader Marine Le Pen on charges of embezzlement of public funds over a fake jobs scam at the EU parliament, a ruling which could derail her 2027 presidential hopes. The judge has yet to issue a sentence.

The leader of the Rassemblement National (RN) faces a five-year prison sentence, three of which would be suspended, and a fine of €300,000, according to the prosecutors' requests. She also faces a five-year ban on seeking public office, which could prevent her from running for president in 2027. "It's my political death that's being demanded," she said, in November 2024.
