Prosecutors have recommended a five-year prison sentence, with three years suspended, along with a €300,000 fine and five years of ineligibility for Marine Le Pen, the former presidential candidate and leader of the National Rally party. The prosecution argues for immediate enforcement of the sentence despite possible appeals. Le Pen condemned the charges as politically motivated, claiming they undermine democracy by restricting French voters’ choices. This trial relates to allegations connected to the former party’s parliamentary assistants.
