<p>The Paris prosecutor&#8217;s office said Jean-Luc Melenchon, a former European Parliament member, is being investigated as part of an inquiry targeting 19 other figures and their former parliamentary assistants.</p>
<p>The inquiry is trying to establish whether assistants working for French political parties were illegally paid with European Parliament money.</p>
<p>Mr Melenchon, leader of the France Unbowed party, has denied any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Former presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, of the National Front, was handed preliminary charges in June over a similar inquiry. She denies all charges.</p>
