Not sure about which law you're talking about but she couldn't have voted for a law that applied to her case as she was elected to the Assemblée Nationale in 2017.

The case she has been sentenced for is about facts that happened before that, while she was a member of the European Parliament (until 2016).

You're absolutely right. My fault. I should have checked what I read. Unfortunately, I cannot change the original comment any longer. In any case, given their involvement in embezzlement the Front National/Rassemblement National would likely not vote for laws against corruption.
