The resignation of Jack Lang, a former French culture minister, from his position as president of the Arab World Institute has sparked significant controversy and media attention due to his alleged ties with Jeffrey Epstein. According to The Frontier Post, Lang resigned after the French Financial Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation into 'aggravated tax fraud laundering' involving him and his daughter Caroline. The investigation follows the release of files by the US Department of Justice on January 30, which revealed correspondence between Lang and Epstein from 2012 to 2019. French media outlets, including Le Monde and Mediapart, have reported on the financial links between Lang and Epstein, intensifying calls for his resignation. Lang, who has been leading the Arab World Institute since 2013, has faced mounting pressure to step down, as noted by Al Jazeera and BBC News, both emphasizing the negative sentiment surrounding his association with Epstein.
