PARIS (AP) — A Paris appeals court cleared the way Tuesday for popular far-right leader Marine Le Pen to possibly run for the French presidency next year but said she must wear an electronic bracelet, which she has said is a no-go.
The verdict declared Le Pen guilty of embezzlement but softened the ban on her holding elected office, putting the ball in her court.
She must now decide whether campaigning in 2027 with a monitoring bracelet as part of her sentence to be served at home is possible.
