Good news! Maybe is a great opportunity for her political party National Rally (French: Rassemblement national) to clean up the act and find a better candidate to challenge President Macron.
Many news media reports suggested or claimed this was some kind of lawfare to eliminate a strong opposition candidate comparing it e.g. with Donald Trump's struggles. Or more generally, some claimed that the judiciary and not the voters would decide elections and Le Pen was made a victim. I readily admit, I am not very familiar with the details of this case. However, some politicians are crooks, why not her?
Maybe this nepotism (party leadership handed from father to daughter) had to come to this end! I was skeptical for a long time about this and Marine Le Pen never convinced me!
"Marine Le Pen and eight MEPs [Members of the European Parliament] were found guilty of misappropriation of public funds ..." (Source)
"... Le Pen has also been given a four-year prison sentence - two years will be spent with an electronic tag rather than in custody, while the other two are suspended ..."
