"Fresh documents released by the US Justice Department last week contained emails between prominent figures and the disgraced financier, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while in prison facing charges of sex trafficking underage girls. Some have revealed warm relations, financial dealings and private images. An AFP review of part of the emails showed former high-profile French culture minister Jack Lang, now 86, once tried to sell Epstein a friend's property in the Moroccan region of Marrakesh."
""He prefers that we speak about it directly," an email screenshot shows him as having written in March 2015, then quoting the price as "5,400,000 euros, offshore". Lang, who spent nearly 20 years as culture minister and education minister in different governments, on Wednesday said he would not step down from his current position as president of the Paris-based Arab World Institute."
Fresh documents from the US Justice Department contain emails linking several French personalities to Jeffrey Epstein. A mere mention in the files does not imply wrongdoing. One French film producer resigned after allegations she owned shares in a company with Epstein. Others who were in contact with Epstein after his 2008 guilty plea said they were unaware of his crimes and not involved. The emails include exchanges, financial details and private images. Former culture minister Jack Lang sought to sell Epstein a friend's property in Marrakesh and quoted a price of 5,400,000 euros offshore. Lang said he met Epstein through Woody Allen and said he was completely shocked; his daughter Caroline Lang resigned as head of the Independent Production Union.
