The Lowdown
Notorious French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen is dead. A former paratrooper, he was most recently accused of embezzling funds along with his far-right daughter Marine Le Pen from the National Rally Party in which they represent. Jean-Marie was excused from court proceedings in the weeks leading up to his death for health reasons.
