Paris police raid Arab World Institute in connection with Epstein investigation

French police raided the headquarters of the Arab World Institute (AWI) on Monday as part of its investigation into a former government official's connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

Authorities searched the Paris headquarters along with several other locations, according to the national financial prosecutor. The investigators were searching for documents relating to ex-culture minister Jack Lang, who served as the AWI's head until his resignation last month. AWI is a part of France's foreign ministry.
