France probes former minister Jack Lang in Epstein-linked inquiry

French financial crime prosecutors opened a preliminary inquiry into former Culture Minister Jack Lang over suspected laundering of tax-fraud proceeds tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Lang denies wrongdoing and has offered to resign as head of the Arab World Institute after Epstein files mention him and his family; his daughter Caroline is also under investigation. The released files suggest attempts to obtain funds or favors from Epstein, but there is no proven link to criminal acts by Lang or his daughter.

"Tony Luke's Owners Sentenced for Tax Fraud in $8M Scheme"

Two owners of Tony Luke’s cheesesteak restaurant in Philadelphia were sentenced to 20 months in prison for a decade-long conspiracy to defraud the IRS by hiding over $8 million in cash receipts and committing employment tax fraud. They paid employees "off the books" in cash and directed their accountant to file false tax returns, causing a loss of $1,321,042 to the United States. They were also ordered to serve three years of supervised release.
