WikiLeaks, which specializes in releasing leaked files on high-profile officials worldwide, has said it has at its disposal several thousand documents regarding the two of France’s presidential candidates, Marine Le Pen and Francois Fillon.
The organization did not disclose the content of said documents, only reporting their number.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the French-based Le Canard Enchaine previously reported that Fillon’s wife Penelope had made some EUR 500,000 working as an assistant to her husband in parliament.
Former Prime Minister Francois Fillon rejected the charges against him over filing fictitious job reports regarding his wife and illegal payments to his wife from parliamentary funds.
