The Epstein scandal. The prosecutor's office initiated an investigation against the former minister
The French financial prosecutor's office, which deals with prosecuting tax fraud, announced on Saturday preliminary proceedings regarding former Minister of Culture Jacek Lang and his daughter Caroline. This is related to documents relating to American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The preliminary investigation concerns alleged tax fraud and money laundering. No further details were provided. The former minister's lawyer, Laurent Merlet, told BFMTV that he would prove that his client was not zamiexposed to any abuses. He emphasized that it is normal for supervisory authorities to demand explanations, not limiting themselves to media reports.
Merlet also argued that it cannot be said that Epstein's documents prove strong, friendly ties between the American and Lang.
