French prosecutors have opened an inquiry into former Culture Minister Jack Lang regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, focusing on suspected money laundering related to tax fraud. Lang, who denies any wrongdoing, has been named numerous times in Epstein's files, which link him and his daughter Caroline to Epstein. Caroline has also stepped down from her position in a film producers' union amid the investigation. The files do not indicate that either Lang or his daughter were involved in Epstein's sexual crimes.
