PARIS (Reuters) - Kering (PA:PRTP), the French luxury goods group whose brands include Gucci and Saint Laurent, said on Thursday that it would co-operate fully on a tax probe into the company, while rejecting any charges of wrongdoing.

Kering confirmed that the office of France's national financial prosecutor had opened a preliminary inquiry into the company in February 2019, which the firm said was related to tax matters.
