BGD 6,436 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 France's Marine Le Pen charged over funding scandal http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40461551 French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been placed under formal investigation over an alleged European parliament funding scandal. The allegations were passed to French investigators who have opened a case. The parliament suspects some 5m (£4m; $5.4m) went to assistants of Ms Le Pen's National Front (FN) who were not working for MEPs but were actually engaged in FN party work in France. The National Front has denied the allegations. Ms Le Pen, 48, has also denied any wrongdoing and has said the case is politically motivated. The alleged fraudulent payments - from 2012 onwards - concern her and several other FN MEPs. The allegations first arose on 27 April, ahead of the second round of voting in the French presidential election. Ms Le Pen was soundly beaten by Emmanuel Macron, by 66% to 34%. She later won a seat in the French parliament in legislative elections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
