Apollo Global Management Inc. board members are investigating co-founder Leon Black’s ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after more information emerged this month about their longtime business dealings.
Black asked the board’s conflict committee to hire counsel and undertake a thorough review to independently confirm his past descriptions of a professional relationship with Epstein, a company spokesman said in an emailed statement late Tuesday. The panel tapped law firm Dechert LLP to conduct interviews and examine records.
