Le Pen’s campaign said in a statement on Thursday that they have identified several of these hackers and have sent all the relevant data to the police in the context of a complaint that indicated that the individual could be “close to extreme left-wing circles”. French prosecutors confirmed that a young man had been arrested this week and that he had “admitted the facts” while in custody.
