European Public Prosecutor's Office inquiry into misappropriation of funds by far-right parties in France
Investigations are currently underway in France as well as in other European Union countries, following suspicions of misappropriation of Community funds by Members of the European Parliament belonging to former far-right political groups within the European Parliament. This information was confirmed by the European Public Prosecutor's Office, corroborating revelations by the newspaper Le Monde.
Among the political formations concerned are several far-right parties at the European level, including Marine Le Pen's National Rally. The investigation covers the period 2019-2024 and concerns the alleged inappropriate use of financial resources allocated by the European Union to these political groups.
According to an official statement, the European Public Prosecutor's Office "is currently conducting investigations in France and in other European countries as part of an ongoing procedure concerning the use of European funds by a former political group of the European Parliament between 2019 and 2024".
This case is part of a broader context of reinforced scrutiny over the use of Community public funds by political formations represented at the European level.
