flag France investigates Jack Lang and daughter over alleged Epstein financial ties; no charges yet.

flag France has launched a preliminary investigation into former culture minister Jack Lang, 86, and his daughter Caroline over alleged financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, following revelations in newly released U.S. documents. flag The probe, focused on potential money laundering linked to tax fraud, stems from mentions of Lang in Epstein’s files, including emails and offshore company records. flag Lang denies any wrongdoing, claims he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes, and refuses to resign as head of the Arab World Institute, which receives half its budget from the French foreign ministry. flag The foreign minister summoned Lang to explain the connections, calling the information “extremely serious,” while his daughter stepped down from a film union role. flag No charges have been filed, and the investigation remains in early stages.
