The suspicions against Jean-Marie Le Pen's former right-hand man involve the hiring in 2005 of Guillaume Lhuillier and Micheline Bruna as parliamentary badistants. "This is ridiculous, I have not diverted a dime from the European Parliament," defended the principal concerned before making more: "On the contrary, my parliamentary badistants have provided hard work, in accordance with legislation and practice of parliamentary life. "
" A political badbadination "
With AFP, the MEP also denounced the fact that" the politicized administration of the European Parliament has declared in the Luxembourg court that it had no proceedings pending against me, while she was a civil party against almost all FN elected in Brussels. What constitutes "a crime of fraud in judgment" in the eyes of this close to the Menhir. In a statement relayed on his Twitter account, Bruno Gollnisch also criticizes "an attempt at political badbadination that aims to ruin our political parties and their leaders by extorting pharamines."
This is the tenth indictment in this case. For several months now, French justice is interested in a possible fraudulent system set up by the National Front – renamed National Rally in early June – to pay party officials on European funds. It was former President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz who took legal action in March 2015, noting that some of the badistants were also included in the party's organizational chart. A judicial procedure, involving 17 elected and former elected officials – including Marine Le Pen and his father – and no less than 40 employees, was subsequently opened. The total damage would amount to nearly 7 million euros between 2009 and 2017, estimates the European Parliament.
The European Parliament claims 500 000 euros ENL group
The group Europe of Nations and Freedoms (ENL ) to which belonged several members of the National Gathering was also pinned by the European Parliament. In question? Nearly 500,000 euros of unjustified expenditure, which the Brussels institution asks to repay. Among the disputed expenses are a hundred Christmas gifts exceeding 100 euros, 230 bottles of champagne or a meal of end of year for 140 people. A way to support "French winemakers", claimed Marine Le Pen to defend itself. In his May 30 edition, The Chained Duck also claims that a dinner for two at the luxurious Ledoyen Pavilion in Paris was relocated. Vice-President Nicolas Bay took part in the company of a "diplomatic guest". A sumptuous snack at the expense of the European Parliament for a whopping € 800
