Overview

• The Marseille prosecutor's office formally opened an inquiry on May 7, 2025, into RN deputy Franck Allisio for suspected misappropriation of public resources.
• The investigation stems from a December 2024 Article 40 referral by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur regional council after an internal probe into Allisio's activities.
• Allisio is accused of using regional council vehicles and staff for partisan tasks, including campaign events and parliamentary duties.
• He failed to declare dual employment of two parliamentary assistants who were also paid by the regional council, which he later described as an 'administrative error.'
• The case highlights ongoing concerns about transparency, ethics, and financial practices within the Rassemblement National party.
