French appeals court clears Marine Le Pen to run with ankle monitor

French appeals court clears Marine Le Pen to run with ankle monitor

A Paris appeals court was set to consider Marine Le Pen's eligibility for the 2027 French presidential election, with early reports indicating the ruling could bar her from office. BBC reported that the court's decision would determine whether she could stand, while Le Pen warned that a ban would force her to back party heir Jordan Bardella. The New York Times added that the case involved an appeal of her embezzlement conviction, which also threatened her candidacy.

Later, the court issued its judgment, reducing the period of ineligibility and allowing Le Pen to run provided she serves a year of home confinement with an electronic ankle tag, NBC News reported. BBC confirmed the condition, noting that the monitoring requirement would impede her campaign, according to Le Pen.
