The National Financial Prosecutor's Office in France has opened an investigation against former minister Jack Lang and his daughter, on suspicion of money laundering. A connection to Epstein is suspected.

The National Financial Prosecutor's Office in France has announced the opening of an investigation targeting Jack Lang, former Minister of Culture, and his daughter, Caroline Lang, on suspicion of money laundering derived from aggravated tax fraud related to Jeffrey Epstein. Pressure on Lang to resign from his position as president of the Arab World Institute has increased following the publication of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice, which show correspondence and financial ties between Lang and Epstein. Although Lang denies any wrongdoing, his name appears over 600 times in the Epstein files. Caroline Lang has resigned from her position as president of the Union of Independent Production in France, and Lang's lawyer stated that he will cooperate with authorities to prove his innocence. The publication of the documents has intensified scrutiny of Epstein's connections with various public figures.
