French ministers call for probe into Jeffrey Epstein’s links to country

France’s government wants prosecutors to open an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s links to the country following his death in a Manhattan prison cell.

The secretaries of state for women’s rights and protecting children said in a statement today that it is “fundamental” to launch an investigation in France so that his death “doesn’t deprive the victims of the justice they deserve” and to protect other girls from “this kind of predator”.
