"Lang, 86, resigned on Saturday night before he was due to attend an urgent meeting called by the French foreign ministry to discuss his links to Epstein. Earlier on Saturday, the French Financial Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation into Jack Lang and his daughter, the film producer Caroline Lang, on suspicion of aggravated tax fraud laundering after they were referenced in the Epstein files. Both denied any wrongdoing."
"Lang's departure is the latest example of the fallout in Europe from files released on 30 January by the US Department of Justice, many of which showed Epstein's social, networking and financial links. Lang is the most high-profile public figure in France caught up in the latest release of private messages from the convicted sex offender. Lang was culture minister under the Socialist president Francois Mitterrand in the 1980s and 90s, and oversaw major modern architectural projects such as the building of the Louvre Pyramid."
