The headquarters of the party of French President Emmanuel Macron have been raided by criminal investigators as part of a probe into possible unlawful funding of his two winning campaigns.
Financial prosecutors at the Parquet National Financier confirmed the evidence-gathering raids on Tuesday, as initially reported by newspaper Le Parisien. The prosecutors said investigators also carried out searches at the premises of the Renaissance party’s funding association and McKinsey & Co.’s Paris offices.
