European Parliament's lawyer Patrick Maisonneuve arrives at the courtroom for the first day of a hearing in her appeal trial on suspicion of embezzlement of European public funds, in Paris, France, on January 13, 2026. The appeal comes after a court last year bars the president of the RN Parliamentary Group, Marine Le Pen, from running for office for five years over a European Parliament fake-jobs scam involving her and other officials from her National Rally Party. The hearing is expected to run until February 11, 2026, with a decision expected this summer. Twelve of the accused, as well as the far-right party itself, appeal against the verdict while another 12 people, including one of Le Pen's sisters, decide to accept their convictions without appealing.
