(Politico) Academics and representatives from France’s Muslim community are denouncing a leaked government report on the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country and across Europe.
The report, commissioned [by] the French government last year, alleges that the Egypt-based Islamist organization is attempting to influence policymakers as part of the group’s long-held goal of establishing a state governed by Islamic law.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said an official version of the findings would be released to the public by the end of the week after an early version was leaked to members of the media, including POLITICO.
The report puts forward several pieces of purported evidence, though links to the Islamist group are not always clear.
