PARIS (AP) — French prosecutors filed preliminary charges Thursday against far-right leader Marine Le Pen for tweeting brutal images of Islamic State violence, in a new blow to a woman long seen as the face of Europe’s anti-immigrant populism.
The prosecutor’s office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre said the charges were issued Thursday for “distribution of violent images.” If the case eventually reaches trial and she’s convicted, Le Pen could face up to three years in prison and 75,000 euros ($90,000) in fines.

The leader of France’s far-right National Front, Marine Le Pen has been placed under formal investigation over her tweets, showing Daesh terrorist group violence, the Reuters news agency reported, citing its judicial source.
The investigation relates to three graphic images of Daesh executions that she posted on Twitter in December 2015, including the beheading of American journalist James Foley. Le Pen condemned an earlier stage of the investigation as “political interference”.

Le Pen has reacted to the decision on Twitter, saying, “Better to be a jihadist returning [to France] from Syria than an MP who denounces the abasement of Islamic State [Daesh]: one takes fewer judicial risks”.
