French police raid Arab World Institute in Epstein-linked probe into Jack Lang
French police raided multiple sites investigating Jack Lang’s alleged financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein and a tax fraud probe involving Lang and his daughter, officials said.
- French police conducted raids on Monday at the Arab World Institute in Paris and other sites in a probe tied to Jack Lang and Jeffrey Epstein, prosecutors said.
- A preliminary tax-fraud investigation into Lang and his daughter began after U.S. Department of Justice documents were released, leading the Paris prosecutor's office to set up a special team of magistrates on Saturday.
- Jack Lang, former French culture minister, resigned earlier this month, and the Arab World Institute said it could not comment immediately after he acknowledged corresponding with Epstein from 2012 to 2019.
- Prosecutors will re-examine Jean-Luc Brunel's case and the new team will coordinate with the national financial crimes unit and police to open investigations into suspected crimes involving French nationals.
- With the DOJ files naming French figures, investigators have broadened scrutiny of prominent names, including senior diplomat Fabrice Aidan, and prosecutors were asked to examine three new specific cases.
