PARIS (Reuters) -EU financial prosecutors said on Tuesday they had opened an investigation into alleged misuse of 4.3 million euros ($5.04 million) of funds by Identity and Democracy, a now-defunct far-right group that included Marine Le Pen's National Rally party.
Media outlets in several countries across the EU reported last week that a draft audit by the European Parliament had found that parties linked to the group had performed improper procurement procedures and had given donations to non-parliamentary activities.
