The French Financial Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation into the assets of Russian businessmen, AFP reported on Monday.
According to the agency, the investigation was launched on July 1 by the General Directorate for Combating Serious Financial Crimes.
The case was brought after a complaint was filed in Paris by the anti-corruption non-governmental organization Transparency International at the end of May about suspicions of money laundering in France by “businessmen and high-ranking officials.”
