Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Rally party, is awaiting a court verdict that could bar her from running in the 2027 presidential election. She and 24 party members are accused of embezzling around $4.8 million in EU funds by paying party staffers with money meant for European Parliament assistants. The case centers on allegations of 'no-show' jobs, where aides were paid but did not perform EU-related work. A guilty verdict could result in a five-year ban from holding public office, potentially ending Le Pen's political ambitions. The ruling is expected to have major implications for France's political landscape.
