France’s highest court may rule on Le Pen’s appeal by April, before presidential election

-

PARIS, July ‌8 (Reuters) - France's highest ​court, the Cour de Cassation, ⁠said on Wednesday that it could rule on ​an appeal lodged by ‌far-right leader Marine Le Pen by early April 2027 at ⁠the latest, before ⁠the presidential election.

Le Pen has said she would file an appeal in ‌her attempt to overturn ⁠the Paris appeals ‌court's ruling ​that found her guilty of embezzling EU funds, but ‌has not yet ​done ⁠so.

The Cour de Cassation ‌said the ⁠timing could change based on a number of factors, ​including the ‌number of appeals filed in ⁠the case.
