Police Raid National Rally Headquarters Amidst Financial Probe
In a recent development, French police raided the headquarters of the National Rally (RN), seizing documents as part of an investigation into alleged illegal campaign financing. The raid comes shortly after EU financial prosecutors launched a separate probe into the alleged misuse of funds by the former far-right Identity & Democracy (ID) group, which included the RN. This investigation will examine potential fraud, illegal loans, and forged documents related to campaigns from 2020 to 2024. Simultaneously, Marine Le Pen, a key figure in the party, is facing legal challenges, including a conviction for embezzling EU funds, further complicating the party’s political landscape.
