Paris (dpa) - Two French ministers on Monday called for an investigation in France into the activities of Jeffrey Epstein, a US financier and convicted sex offender who was found dead in his New York prison cell in what authorities said was an apparent suicide.
“The American investigation has brought to light links with France,” Gender Equality Minister Marlene Schiappa and junior health minister Adrien Taquet said, without specifying what those links were. “It appears to us essential, for the sake of the victims, that an investigation be opened in France to cast full light on the issue,” the ministers said.
