PARIS – French authorities carried out search operations Friday targeting a French diplomatic official whose name surfaced in Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, according to the French financial prosecutor’s office announcement Tuesday.
The law enforcement action comes as part of an ongoing investigation into the diplomat after his identification in materials made public by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the convicted sex trafficker Epstein.
The prosecutor’s office confirmed the raids occurred as investigators continue examining the diplomat’s potential connections to the disgraced financier’s criminal network.
