French court to rule on July 7 in Marine Le Pen graft appeal trial
A Paris appeals court said Wednesday it will rule on July 7 in a fraud case against far-right leader Marine Le Pen, in what is expected to be a pivotal moment for French politics. A lower court last year handed the veteran 57-year-old politician a five-year ban from public office over a fake jobs scam at the European Parliament, dashing her presidential ambitions.
