Good. Criminals should be held accountable. I can't believe there's even an argument about this. Whataboutism only breeds more criminal activity.

This is really just a "they're all doing it too" finger pointing from Le Pen's party. "The preliminary investigation - already targeting members of France's centrist MoDem party, conservative party The Republicans and the Socialist Party - was opened after a member of Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front asked the Paris prosecutor to look into the issue." I glad all such allegations will be investigated.
