Marine Le Pen’s Career Could End Tuesday: Court Rules on Embezzlement Case

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen faces the possible end of her 40-year political career on Tuesday. A French court will decide if she is guilty of embezzling public funds. If convicted, she could be barred from running for president in 2027. Le Pen rose to prominence by bringing her National Rally party into mainstream French politics. Once seen as a fringe figure, she became the face of the far-right movement in France. Her political journey has been marked by frustration, as she has failed in three presidential bids. The court ruling could reshape the 2027 presidential race. Le Pen has denied any wrongdoing.
