A French court found Marine Le Pen guilty of misusing European Parliament funds, sentencing her to four years (two suspended) in prison and a €100,000 fine. The court estimated over €4 million was embezzled, with Le Pen held responsible for €474,000. The ruling sparked outrage from fellow right-wing European leaders, including Viktor Orbán, who declared 'Je suis Marine.' Le Pen's ties to Russia through a past loan also remain a point of contention.
