France’s highest court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by far-right leader Marine Le Pen, dealing a major setback to her efforts to overturn a sentence that could bar her from running in the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen was handed a four-year prison sentence, including two years to serve, a €100,000 fine and a five-year ban from public office over a party funds misuse case.
