Affaire Epstein: "il faut que la justice" américaine "fasse son travail", estime Macron
Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that the Epstein case concerned "mainly the United States" and that in that sense "justice there should do its job and that's all".
"Clearly, he (Epstein, editor's note) had a very extensive system, which justifies the justice system doing its job independently and calmly," urged the head of state on the sidelines of a trip to Paris.
"I see that behind this also fuels a lot of conspiracy theories and everything else," he also argued, calling for "real journalistic work".
The US Department of Justice, which on January 30 put online "more than three million pages" of this global dossier, announced through its number 2 Todd Blanche that these documents did not contain any new elements that could lead to further prosecutions.
"This is a matter that mainly concerns the United States of America," stressed Mr. Macron, who said he did not want to "take part in a public debate on this subject."
The shockwave, however, extends beyond American borders with the uncovering of numerous links between this sex offender and prominent figures from all countries.
In France, it was former Minister of Culture Jack Lang who was forced to resign from the presidency of the Arab World Institute in Paris.
"He made his decision (...) consciously," stressed Emmanuel Macron, who said he "took note" of it.
