Marine Le Pen banned from 2027 presidential race, handed four-year jail term

Published on March 31, 2025 at 01:54 PM

French far-right figurehead, Marine Le Pen, has been banned from running for political office for five years.

This was the verdict as a Paris court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds.

The court also handed Le Pen a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended, but she will serve it under house arrest.

Le Pen has also been asked to pay a â‚¬100,000 ($108,000) fine.

Her lawyer has already confirmed Le Pen will file an appeal.

Le Pen's party, National Rally, RN, was ordered to pay â‚¬2 million in fines for the â‚¬4.1 million that it was accused of embezzling.

Judge BÃ©nÃ©dicte de Perthuis noted that Le Pen’s actions amounted to a “serious and lasting attack on the rules of democratic life in Europe, but especially in France.”;

De Perthuis said Le Pen’s immediate ban on running for office was tied to “democratic public unrest”; that would result from the election of a person convicted of embezzlement.
