Significant amounts of the misappropriated funds reportedly went to two companies associated with Le Pen's allies, including 1.7 million euros awarded to the communication agency e-Politic, which was criticized for a flawed bidding process.

Additionally, the company Unanime received over 1.4 million euros for printing services that were subcontracted at a lower cost, raising further suspicions of financial misconduct.

The RN is also accused of making over 700,000 euros in donations to associations that appear unrelated to their political activities in Brussels, with many connections to party associates.

These allegations come on the heels of a conviction in March 2025, where Marine Le Pen and several RN officials were found guilty of misusing public funds related to fictitious parliamentary assistants.

As a result of these convictions, Le Pen was sentenced to a five-year ineligibility period, barring her from running in the next presidential election due to her central role in a public fund embezzlement scheme.

When questioned about the report, Le Pen claimed ignorance of the details and suggested that the issues with the European Parliament are administrative, while accusing the institution of politically targeting opposition parties.

In response to the allegations, Philip Claeys, a former secretary of the Identity and Democracy group, has dismissed the claims as incorrect, asserting that all payments were properly documented and justified.

A recent report from the European Parliament has uncovered that the National Rally (RN) and its allies are suspected of misappropriating over 4.3 million euros from 2019 to 2024, involving issues such as lack of tenders and overbilling.

The report details financial irregularities, including overcharging and inappropriate donations, particularly benefiting companies linked to Marine Le Pen's associates.
