Authorities raided the residential properties and offices of French Culture Minister Rachida Dati on Thursday as part of a corruption probe linked to her previous tenure as a member of the European Parliament, Bloomberg reported. 

In a statement cited by the news agency, French prosecutors said searches were conducted at the culture ministry, several homes linked to Dati, and the town hall of Paris’s 7th arrondissement, which she has led for nearly two decades. The probe is examining suspected corruption, influence peddling, embezzlement of public funds and money laundering. 

French media reported the investigation is also focused on alleged payments tied to Dati’s time as an MEP, according to the news outlet. Agence France-Presse said Dati is suspected of receiving €299,000 ($350,890) in fees from GDF Suez, now known as Engie SA, without declaring the source of the funds to the European Parliament.

The raids come as Dati is already facing legal jeopardy in a separate French case, Bloomberg said. She is expected to go on trial in September alongside former Renault-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn over consultancy fees dating back more than a decade. Dati has denied wrongdoing in that matter.
