‘Assistants’ unable to describe their duties
The investigation against Le Pen, who is no longer an MEP and now sits in the French Parliament, found that many of the party’s “parliamentary assistants” had trouble confirming what their day-to-day tasks had been.
In one instance, investigators uncovered text messages from a bodyguard asking if he could meet the MEP he allegedly worked under, months after his supposed job started.
The trial threatens to topple Le Pen’s work normalizing her party’s reputation after decades on the political fringe. The RN is facing a separate trial over allegations of illegally financing her 2022 presidential campaign.
