Former French culture minister, in addition to having ties with Jefferey Epstein, was a prominent member of an Islamic organization

The files about the late child rapist Jeffrey Epstein have been in the news lately, with a considerable number of prominent politicians named as close buddies of his. Now, it turns out a former French culture minister, Jack Lang, in addition to having ties with Epstein, was also a leading member of an Islamic organization in France:

French police raided the Arab World Institute in Paris on Monday as part of a probe into Jack Lang, the former French culture minister, and his daughter Caroline — after Lang’s name appeared hundreds of times in the Epstein files.

The investigation into “laundering of aggravated tax fraud” against the Langs was opened on Feb. 6, and multiple locations have been searched in compliance with the probe, according to France’s National Financial Prosecutor. Lang, 86, resigned on Feb. 7 from the presidency of the Arab World Institute — which he had led since 2013 — after his name appeared 673 times in correspondence with Epstein between 2012 and 2019, according to emails released by the Department of Justice.

Lang had requested favors from Epstein including use of his vehicle or private plane for himself or family members, Radio France Internationale reported. Caroline Lang also appeared in the statute of a Virgin Islands-based company, Prytanee LLC, which Epstein founded in 2016.

The Arab World Institute describes itself as a “symbol of the partnership between France and twenty-one Arab countries,” according to its website. The institute “generates a dialogue between cultures that have been in frequent contacts for centuries and this partnership work together there, on a day-to-day basis, to rebuild their common past.”

One can only wonder what ties an institution like that could have to Epstein by extension. Lang, I think I once heard, is Jewish, and his presidency/membership in the organization is certainly telling of what a sellout to the Religion of Peace he's bound to be. Which could explain why somebody like him was chummy with Epstein. Nobody who's a realist should feel the least bit sorry Lang's now facing consequences for his reprehensible conduct. But who knows if any serious investigation beyond this one will be conducted into what the Arab World Institute is like underneath?
