It's France, tons of politicians have been found of guilty of "stealing taxpayermoney" without much impact on their carreer.

let's say she's banned from running to election for 3 years, true, she misses the 2027 presidential election, but she'll be back in 2032, and can still have a party leadership position, can still run to 2029 European election.
