Police on Tuesday searched the Paris office of US management consultancy McKinsey as part of an investigation into suspected tax fraud, the financial prosecutor's office said.

The investigation into the U.S. management consultancy was triggered after the French Senate in March alleged that the firm was not paying corporate taxes in France.
