A French prosecutor has asked for a five-year prison sentence and a five-year ban from politics for Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally party.
This request comes after allegations that Le Pen misused funds allocated to her as a member of the European Parliament.
Le Pen denies the charges, claiming she was simply using the funds for her party's activities.
The trial is ongoing and will likely determine the fate of Le Pen's political career, with potential consequences for the French political landscape.
