Veteran French politician quits as head of prestigious institute after Epstein links revealed

Jack Lang, a prominent former French culture minister, resigned as head of the Arab World Institute in Paris following the release of documents revealing his past contacts with Jeffrey Epstein. The resignation occurred before an urgent meeting with the French foreign ministry to discuss these links. Simultaneously, French financial prosecutors launched an investigation into Lang and his daughter, Caroline Lang, for suspected "aggravated tax fraud laundering" after their names appeared in the Epstein files. Caroline Lang also resigned from France’s Union of Independent Producers after emails showed she had founded an offshore company with Epstein. The released files, made public by the US Department of Justice, have exposed Epstein's connections and led to fallout for several European figures.
