During the second day of defense arguments in the trial involving former National Front parliamentary assistants, Louis Aliot’s lawyer criticized the prosecution’s demands for ineligibility. The prosecutor’s office has sought severe penalties for all 25 defendants, including Marine Le Pen. Aliot’s attorney called for his clients’ acquittal, emphasizing discrepancies in how similar cases have been treated. The court heard evidence indicating a lack of substantial work by an assistant for Aliot. The verdict will be issued in several months.
