This is not the first time that Europe has demanded an account from Marin Le Pen, but this time he is accused at the same time of Father Le Pen and her ex-partner Louis Alio, mayor of Perpignan.
They are accused of embezzling 617,000 euros in total.
Based on the above, Marin has 137,000 for the period 2004-2017, while he was an MEP. This is European money with the suspicion that they went to the party.
The issue was brought to light by the European Anti-Fraud Office, which launched the investigation in 2016. It sent its report to the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on 11 March.
Marin Lepen and her associates are accused of using European money “for national political purposes, for personal expenses or otherwise, for the benefit of commercial companies affiliated with the” National Alarm “party and the far-right parliamentary group” Europe of Nations and Freedoms “( ENL).
The issue became widely known the day before yesterday, with the publication of the journalistic website Mediapart, one week before the final election.
“You see it! You see, this is an attempt by Europe to intervene in the presidential campaign. But the French will not be fooled “reacted Jordan Bardela, number two of the National Alarm. He said the party was unaware of the investigation and promised that legal action would be taken to investigate the source of the leak to Mediapart.
