In the Paris Court of Appeal's ongoing trial over alleged misuse of European Parliament funds by Front National/Rassemblement National staff, Marine Le Pen was questioned on January 20-21, 2026, rejecting claims of a 'system' of embezzlement and highlighting the European Parliament's prior silence on assistants' roles.
Marine Le Pen's defense scored a point on the second day of the appeal trial over the Front National's European parliamentary assistants. The public prosecutor's office believes the party cannot be held accountable for unpursued contracts, as the tribunal ruled in March 2025. The court must rule on this legal issue on Thursday.
