Marine Le Pen found guilty, but court clears way for presidential run if she wears tag

Marine Le Pen now has to decide whether she or Jordan Bardella should run for National RallyThe three-year prison sentence Le Pen now faces involves two years suspended and one year wearing an electronic tag.

In theory, Marine Le Pen could ask for the one-year term for wearing the electronic tag to be reduced for good behaviour.

However, the leader of the hard-right National Rally (RN) has been given a one-year term wearing an electronic ankle tag under house arrest, although that would not necessarily stop her running either.
