I don't know much about the case and the EU is def used for corruption like any other government or political arena, but this is pretty harsh IMO.
I don't believe Le Pen was orchestrating corruption herself.
This is political motivated no doubt !

The sentence means Le Pen, the guiding force of the National Rally party, cannot run in the 2027 presidential election, unless she successfully appeals.
