France Court of Appeal reduces Le Pen ban but orders electronic tag, leaving presidential bid in limbo
TL;DR Summary
France’s Court of Appeal upholds Marine Le Pen’s embezzlement conviction, orders about €2 million in damages to the EU and a €100,000 fine, while cutting her ban on public office to 15 months and ordering one year of home confinement with an electronic tag. Le Pen says she won’t campaign while tagged, effectively leaving the presidential race to Jordan Bardella and leaving her political future unresolved.
