Overview
- A confidential 31-page report by the Parliament’s finance directorate alleges that RN and its former Identité et Démocratie allies misused €4.33 million between 2019 and 2024.
- More than €3.6 million was tied to irregular invoices from uncompetitive contracts and over €700,000 went to associations with no link to parliamentary activities.
- Two firms close to Marine Le Pen’s circle, e-Politic and Unanime, received €1.7 million and €1.4 million respectively through tenders deemed purely formal and non-compliant.
- Philip Claeys, former secretary-general of the Identité et Démocratie group, rejected the findings as incorrect, insisting all payments were properly invoiced and audited.
- The Parliament’s budget control committee has not yet formally examined the 2024 accounts of the dissolved group before issuing any comment.
