What to know about the electronic monitor Marine Le Pen must wear 07.07.2026

France 24

A Paris appeals court on Tuesday found far-right leader Marine Le Pen guilty of embezzlement, resulting in a three-year prison sentence, with one year to be served under house arrest using an electronic ankle monitor. The court also imposed a €100,000 fine and reduced her ban from elected office to 45 months. Under French law, electronic monitoring is used to mitigate prison overcrowding and restricts movement to judge-authorized hours and locations. While the device may complicate political campaigning, the court's ruling allows her to run for the presidency in the upcoming elections. A specialized judge will soon determine the specific terms of her monitoring, including her residence and permitted movement. Le Pen has expressed concerns that the monitoring could effectively prevent her from campaigning freely, despite the court's decision to allow her candidacy.
