🇫🇷‼️ Le Pen & 8 other Far Right politicians have just been found guilty by a Paris court of embezzling money from 🇪🇺 by employing fake assistants in European Parliament up to 2017. This was expected. The penalties, including a possible ban from electoral politics for Le Pen, will be announced shortly
