The Parisian Court has stated that the National Alliance’s leading figures Marine Le Penineight party EU MPs and 12 assistants to guilty of the condemnation.
The judge’s decision on the punishment is still expected. The prosecutor had requested a five -year prison sentence and a five -year ban on public duties in the trial last year.
According to the French media, finding guilty automatically leads to a ban, but its entry into force is still open.
Le Pen is expected to choose a judgment.
According to the indictment, the national alliance misused EU funds and made fake officials in the EU Parliament who actually worked for the party and never did not even go to EU facilities.
For example, the Human Resources Manager of Le Pen was hired by the stalled funds. The court estimated that the total damage was EUR 2.9 million.
