McKinsey & Co.’s Paris offices were raided by police in the latest escalation of a controversy over whether the US consulting firm paid any French corporate taxes in the last decade despite earning millions of euros on government projects.
Prosecutors confirmed that evidence-gathering searches had begun on Tuesday. Last month, financial prosecutors at the Parquet National Financier said they had opened a probe into McKinsey to look into suspicions of laundering of tax-fraud proceeds.
