Legal experts speculate that a recent ruling by France's constitutional court regarding a former local official from Mayotte could affect Marine Le Pen's ongoing embezzlement trial. The court dismissed arguments from Rachadi Saindou's lawyers regarding the timing of his removal from office, setting a precedent for officials facing similar charges. Le Pen's case involves accusations of her party's embezzlement of EU funds, and prosecutors have requested a five-year ban that may prevent her from running in the 2027 presidential elections, raising critical questions about political eligibility amid legal challenges.
