French prosecutors have initiated a preliminary investigation into Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right National Rally (RN), over suspicions of illegal financing of her 2022 presidential campaign.
The probe, announced by the Paris prosecutor's office, aims to scrutinize the financial operations behind Le Pen's bid for presidency, which she ultimately lost to Emmanuel Macron. This investigation comes shortly after Le Pen's party faced a surprising defeat in recent elections, raising questions about the legality of their campaign funding methods.
Authorities are particularly looking into allegations of embezzlement and fraud, marking yet another legal challenge for Le Pen and her party.
