French judge seizes subsidy Le Pen

A French judge seized 2 million euros that would be granted on Monday as a subsidy to the Rassemblement National, the new name of the Front National of Marine Le Pen.

The money is confiscated in the context of a lengthy investigation into the abuse of public funds. MEPs from the National Front are suspected of having improperly used allowances for work in the EP. They would have channeled that money to employees in France. The accusations are contradicted by those involved.
