Milan, 20 January (LaPresse) – The appeal trial in the case of misappropriation of EU funds, for which Marine Le Pen was convicted, continued today with testimony from the leader of France's far-right party Rassemblement National (RN). ‘I have noticed that in all these 10 years, the European Parliament has never criticised us for having assistants who clearly worked with several members of Parliament,’ Le Pen said in court, ‘I believe that the disputed facts are a succession of cases over a period of twelve years. So, I believe there are very different situations that we will probably address.’ This was reported by the broadcaster Bfmtv.
