The headquarters of France’s far-right National Front were raided Wednesday as part of an investigation into an alleged misuse of European Union funds.
The raids at the FN’s offices in Nanterre, a few kilometers west of Paris, are part of a preliminary probe opened in March 2015 concerning the assistants of members of the European Parliament, said Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office. She declined to elaborate.
