France Probes Russian-Owned Assets Over Money Laundering Claims

French financial prosecutors are investigating assets in the country owned by Russian oligarchs over allegations that they are linked to money laundering.

The probe is being led by the office that specializes in large-scale financial fraud, an official with the prosecutors office said.

The investigation follows a complaint filed earlier this year by Transparency International.

The probe by the financial prosecutors’ office was first reported by the French daily Le Parisien.
