Le Pen denied any wrongdoing, asserting that her actions were within the law and pledging to present a strong defense.

The trial, which will last nine weeks, revolves around accusations that Le Pen and 27 officials misused funds intended for EU parliamentary aides to pay party staff between 2004 and 2016.
