Marine Le Pen, sentenced to 15 months of ineligibility: "You will have to wear the electronic bracelet for a year"

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right Rassemblement National party, has been sentenced to three years in prison, two of which are suspended, for misusing European Union funds during her time as an MEP and for complicity in the misuse of public funds while leading her party. The court also imposed a 15-month period of political ineffectiveness, which she has already partially served since March 2025, leaving one year remaining. As part of her sentence, she must wear an electronic bracelet for one year. Le Pen had previously stated she would not campaign if required to wear the bracelet. There is speculation she might seek a reduction in her sentence to avoid wearing the device during future electoral campaigns.

Marine Le Pen found guilty, already disqualified, could run

Marine Le Pen has been confirmed by the court as guilty of a crime carrying a sentence of three years in prison, one of which includes wearing an electronic bracelet. The period of ineligibility for holding office, initially five years, was reduced to 15 months, which she has already served since March 2025. This leaves her with one year remaining under the electronic bracelet requirement. Le Pen has previously stated she would not campaign while wearing the device. There is speculation that she might seek a reduction or adjustment to her sentence, potentially allowing her to run for office without the bracelet starting in January.
