LILLE, France (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was fined 10,000 euros (8,268 pounds) on Thursday over fake flyers distributed by National Front workers during 2012 legislative elections pretending to show a far-left rival calling for "Arab" votes in Arabic.
The flyer, showing a picture of Jean-Luc Melenchon by the words "No future for France without Arabs - Vote Melenchon!", was distributed in a voting district of the northern Pas-de-Calais area where he was running against Le Pen.
