It’s not dubious but it’s not equal justice. The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, was found guilty of transferring €403 million from EU taxpayers to a certain tycoon, but she did not receive a verdict and now runs the ECB.
Don't forget Salvini's party, that stole at least 49M between 2008 and 2010. Nothing bad happened: they just have to return them, 600k per year, for 70 years. It's calculated that the final real value of the returned money will be less than 20M. Absolute scandal.
Le Pen was convicted of embezzlement for transferring European Parliament funds to run her National Front.
Legarde was convicted of negligence for approving the payout of the two decade long Tapie arbitration.
These are not the same.
