In a separate case, Le Pen has refused to cooperate with a police investigation looking into the use of European parliamentary allowances to pay for party work in France.
French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen may be stripped of her European Parliament immunity from prosecution because of a judicial investigation in France into the posting on her Twitter account of images of murders by Islamic State.
The EU Parliament?s legal-affairs committee recommended on Feb. 28 that she lose her immunity.
The case involves the posting in December 2015 on Le Pen?s Twitter account of images showing three hostages being murdered by Islamic State, which is also known as Daesh.
The 28-nation EU assembly is acting on a request made in October by French Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas in connection with an investigation being conducted by the Nanterre Regional Court.
