Mix Mistress Alice💄<p>Marine Le Pen and 24 of her fascist party members, including nine former members of the European parliament and their 12 parliamentary assistants, were found guilty of a vast scheme over many years to embezzle European parliament funds, by using money earmarked for European parliament assistants to instead pay party workers in France.</p><p>Judge Benedicte de Perthuis, reading the verdict of the panel of three justices, said Le Pen had been "at the heart" of the scheme. The judge said that while Le Pen and other co-defendants didn't enrich themselves personally, the embezzlement was "a democratic bypass" that deceived the parliament and voters. </p><p>The so-called fake jobs system covered parliamentary assistant contracts between 2004 and 2016, and was unprecedented in scale and duration, causing losses of €4.5m (£3.8m) to European taxpayer funds.</p><p>Meanwhile Le Pen, her gang and all right-wing dickheads across the world are crying like babies for ‘denial of democracy’. What a bunch of hypocrites! <br>Obran, Trump, Milei & their ilks have proven there is less democracy once these fascists have a seat. </p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/MarineLePen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarineLePen</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/EmbezzlementScheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmbezzlementScheme</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/LePen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LePen</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/guilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guilty</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/embezzlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>embezzlement</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/judgement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>judgement</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/fraudsters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fraudsters</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/losses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>losses</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fraud</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/TaxPayersMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaxPayersMoney</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/swindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swindle</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/crooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crooks</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/ExtremeRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeRight</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FarRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FarRight</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/NationalRally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalRally</span></a></p>

Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>French far-right figurehead Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds, in a politically explosive ruling that has shattered her hopes of winning the presidency in 2027.</p><p>A Paris court also handed Le Pen, who was the frontrunner for the next election, a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended, to be served under house arrest, and a €100,000 ($108,000) fine. She can appeal but the ban will stand unless overturned by another court.</p><p>Her party, National Rally (RN), was ordered to pay €2 million in fines for the €4.1 million that it was accused of embezzling. </p><p><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/31/europe/marine-le-pen-embezzlement-trial-verdict-france-intl/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">edition.cnn.com/2025/03/31/eur</span><span class="invisible">ope/marine-le-pen-embezzlement-trial-verdict-france-intl/index.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LePen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LePen</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>France</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/embezzlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>embezzlement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteCollarCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteCollarCrime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a></p>
