French authorities investigate Le Pen’s campaign financing

French investigators are investigating the financing of far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen's 2022 campaign, which she lost to President Emmanuel Macron, according to prosecutors. The inquiry, which began on July 2, is based on a 2023 report by the National Commission on Campaign Accounts and Political Financing (CNCCFP), which examines candidates' election spending and funding, the prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.
