Guess we'll see after the investigation.
"Presidential hopeful Emmanuel Macron has filed a legal complaint after his far-right rival Marine Le Pen accused him of holding money in a tax haven. The 39-year-old ex-economy minister described his rival's insinuation as 'defamation' and after his complaint,
French prosecutors launched a probe Thursday into who started the rumour.
Macron's campaign team called it a 'textbook case' of 'fake news', saying it was spread on
Twitter by accounts close to Kremlin-friendly news sites like Sputnik and RT as well as supporters of
US President Donald Trump.
Miss Le Pen, 48, later admitted to French television channel BFMTV that she had no evidence to back up her comments but had read about the allegations. It came after fake documents purporting to relate to overseas bank accounts were shared on social media.
