French prosecutors said Tuesday they will seek to have convictions upheld and certain defendants disqualified from office in the appeal trial of far-right leader Marine Le Pen and members of her party over alleged fraud.

"We are going to ask you to largely uphold the criminal liability established in the initial trial, and ineligibility sentences will of course be sought," a prosecutor told a Paris court.
