PARIS, March 24 (Reuters) - French investigators searched the Paris offices of Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild as part of an inquiry into alleged corruption involving a French diplomat named in ‌documents linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

The name of Fabrice Aidan, a ‌middle-ranking French diplomat who was seconded to the United Nations from 2006 to 2013 and later worked at the bank, appeared in more than 200 ​documents released by the U.S. Justice Department.

These include emails he is alleged to have sent Epstein between 2010 and 2016 from his personal and U.N. accounts.

Some of the emails reviewed by Reuters show the transfer of U.N. Security Council briefings and other confidential documents to Epstein during that period. Aidan has denied wrongdoing, and his lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
