Marine Le Pen between "nanogica" and candidate for the presidency of France

Last Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the judicial panel of the Court of Appeal in Paris issued a second-instance verdict in the proceedings against Marine Le Pen and 11 other co-accused from her far-right National Rally (RN) party for "false assistants", RN MEPs. We are talking about a well-developed system of embezzlement of EU public funds in favor of the petty-proprietary party interests of the innermost circle around Le Pen herself. Political analysts, as well as legal and public law specialists, were not afraid to call the verdict "historic".

During Patricia Hearst's trial, which began on February 4, 1976 (two years after the kidnapping, three months after her arrest) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, defense attorneys tried to prove that, like the POWs in Korea, Patricia was a victim of brainwashing; the jury sentenced her to 35 years in prison, which was later reduced to seven years, and after serving only twenty-two months she was pardoned and then erased by amnesty

To wash the image of the extremists, the kidnappers emphasize the Robinhood-like demand that the Hearsts feed the poor; While in captivity, Patricia announces that she has become a guerrilla, Tanja, and then robs banks and plants bombs with her captors. In the longest shootout in American history, the police kill General Field Marshal Sinke Mtume and six of his comrades, and after a year and a half, they arrest Patricia, who declares: "I am Tanya - the profession of a city guerrilla" and then changes her hairstyle and dress

The Epstein dossier

Now we only know how much we still don't know

The members of the Committee entrusted with the investigation into the affair of the dead American rich man emphasized that their goal is to determine "how such an active predator could act with apparent impunity for so long, despite clear evidence of his crimes that were presented to the authorities as early as 1994." Despite the vast amount of documents that have been dumped into the public domain, it remains unclear how close we are to answering this question

Lawyer Vladimir Đukanović stated in front of the Special Court that the proceedings against the Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković were legally unsustainable, claiming that the decision from 2005 declaring the General Staff building a cultural asset was later declared null and void, and that the building never had a protected status.

Who is afraid of the case of citizen Selaković

The trial of the Minister of Culture should begin on February 4 on charges of abuse of office in the General Staff affair. "By announcing that he will pardon the accused in this case, Vučić is announcing what no one has ever done - he will absolve himself of criminal responsibility," believes Professor Bojan Pajtić. "All this looks like the defense of a man who knows that he is responsible for what he is charged with, and which of course needs to be proven during the procedure itself", assesses Selaković's actions, lawyer Jovan Rajić. "There is evidence - and this can also be seen from Vučić's statements - that he is the 'alpha and omega' of the business move of demolishing monuments of Serbian culture at the expense of bribing the American president", emphasized lawyer Božo Prelevic.
