MOSCOW (Sputnik) — One of the right-wing Front National party members made a claim that Melenchon employed four Unsubmissive France party members as his assistants in the European parliament and paid them using the EU funds while they were working for the party, Le Parisien said.

Melenchon himself denies any wrongdoing, according to the newspaper.

Similar accusations have already led to the investigation against the leader of France's National Front (FN) party, Marine Le Pen.
