Emmanuel Macron launches legal complaint over offshore account allegations spread by Marine Le Pen

‘Emmanuel Macron has launched legal action over allegations that he holds an offshore account, which were raised by Marine Le Pen just days before the French presidential election.
She was accused of using “fake news” in a last ditch attempt to damage the frontrunner’s chances after challenging him over the claims during a televised debate.
