Paris prosecutors are considering opening a formal probe into deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein after two French ministers said that the U.S. sex-trafficking case indicated links to France.
Investigators are analyzing evidence to determine whether a probe should be opened, an official in the prosecutor’s office said Monday. The comments came hours after Marlene Schiappa, minister for women’s affairs, said that Epstein’s death over the weekend meant that a French investigation was more important than ever.
