French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been barred from running for public office for five years – derailing her bid to run in the next presidential election.
The National Rally leader, who left court before the verdict was read out, was found guilty in an embezzlement case.
She was also given a four-year jail sentence, with two years suspended.
