Michigan judge among four indicted in ward-fund embezzlement scheme

A sitting Michigan judge, Andrea Bradley-Baskin of the 36th District Court, and three Detroit-area residents were indicted on conspiracy to commit wire fraud and related charges for allegedly siphoning hundreds of thousands from wards’ estates through Guardian and Associates and related entities. Alleged schemes included using about $70,000 to buy a stake in a bar, diverting roughly $203,000 from a ward’s settlement, and a two-year lease on a Ford Expedition for the judge, with money laundering counts and a false-statement charge also tied to Bradley-Baskin. FBI and U.S. Attorney officials described the case as fiduciary abuse of vulnerable individuals in probate matters.

Le Pen’s EU funds appeal could decide her 2027 bid

Marine Le Pen opened a fresh appeal trial over the embezzlement of European Parliament funds, a case that will determine whether she can run in the 2027 presidential election. After a 2024 conviction that included a five-year ban and a four-year prison sentence (two suspended) plus a €100,000 fine for siphoning about €4.8 million to pay French party workers, a verdict is due by summer; the outcome could keep her off the ballot or clear a path for Jordan Bardella if she is barred. The five-year ban began in March 2025, and a reduced one- or two-year ban on appeal could end by March 2027, potentially permitting a 2027 run.
