Ammon News - French police and Europol searched the local office of X, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced on Tuesday.

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation launched in 2025 on allegations of “fraudulent extraction of data” of an automated data-processing system “by an organized group.”

French prosecutors’ cybercrime unit said the investigation has now been expanded to cover other alleged crimes, including complicity in possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, privacy violations, and Holocaust denial.

The expansion of the investigation comes as X and its owner Elon Musk face widespread criticism for allowing its Grok AI to be used to generate nonconsensual imagery.

Musk, who bought X (previously Twitter) in 2022, and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino were summoned for questioning on April 20. Unnamed X staffers were also summoned for the same week, per the prosecutor’s announcement.
