Marine Le Pen found guilty, but court clears way for presidential run if she wears tag

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's National Rally party, was found guilty by a Paris court and received a sentence that included a suspended ban from holding office. The court did not impose an immediate prohibition on her running for president, allowing her candidacy to proceed if she accepts electronic monitoring as part of her sentence. Le Pen is scheduled to make a televised statement about her decision regarding the election. The verdict stemmed from a legal case related to campaign financing allegations involving her party.
