French prosecutors search Macron’s party offices

Renaissance party had been searched in an investigation into the use of consulting firms by the government since 2017.

“It’s normal for the judiciary to investigate freely and independently to shed all the light on this subject,“ a Renaissance spokesman, Loic Signor, told AFP. Two probes have been underway since October, looking into possible false election campaign accounting, as well as possible favouritism and conspiracy.

Total outlays on consulting firms reached more than a billion euros last year, a figure frequently cited by Macron’s opponents during his successful bid for a second term last April.
