The European parliament is investigating a new corruption scandal associated with the ultra -Kongress -group, headed by the previous legislative body of the National Group of the Marine Le -Pen. According to Le Monde, in accordance with Le Monde, it prepared a report in which he indicates a waste of 4.33 million euros of funds that are planned for administrative expenses of parliamentary groups. Eurocamara is currently limited to target that the accounts of groups of the last legislative body are analyzed.
According to the French publication, a group of identity and democracy, which united a dozen parties of European extreme law in the previous legislative body and that in this mandate it ceased to exist when turning into a new entity called “patriots” in Europe using VOX or FIEDSZ of VIKTOR Orbán, using the atrophore part that bring Fonar. Operating group (secretariat, computer material, celebration of meetings, etc.).
Identity and democracy allocated 700,000 euros of these funds for donations at the association, which is not covered by the regulation of the so -called “line 400”, which regulates the operational costs of groups. Another unevenness discovered is associated with the hiring of external communication services and social networks in the amount of 3.6 million euros.
According to Le Monde, who traditionally paid for these services are two companies (unanimous and electronic political), which traditionally worked in the National Group of Le Pen and personalities close to the leader of the French ultra-right, who received no response from these companies, or from the Jordan of Bardella, the head of this side and the current president of the patriots for Europe.
This is not the first time that the Le Pen party is involved in the case of corruption in the European Science. The French policy was sentenced to four years in prison for embezzlement and disabled people (located outside the presidential race of 2027) for the implementation of an “unjustified system of allocations” from donations assigned to each member of the European Parliament to pay for parliament assistants (at that time it was 21,000 euros a month). These assistants actually worked completely or partly for the party in France. The fraudulent amount amounted to 4.5 million euros.
In this case, in the European parliament they avoid commenting, given that it is “premature.” “After this decision, the process of closing the accounts is still ongoing,” they say in the press service.
