GRENOBLE, France -- Judicial authorities in France have opened a probe of allegations including incitement to racism and apology for war crimes over a Nazi-themed stag party attended by a British lawmaker.
Albertville state prosecutor Patrick Quincy says no suspect is so far targeted in the investigation opened Wednesday over the Dec. 3 party in a Val Thorens restaurant in the French Alps attended by Conservative lawmaker Aidan Burley.
British news reports have featured photos and amateur video of Burley next to a man dressed in a Nazi SS uniform and among guests who toasted the Third Reich at the party.
Burley lost his job as a parliamentary aide last month, and has apologized. Prime Minister David Cameron has ordered an investigation into his behavior.
