Investigators claimed to have made a "significant discovery" during a search at one of the two houses of the German co-pilot who officials say appears to have deliberately crashed a plane into the French Alps, according to a report.
But officials refused to elaborate on the finding at the house in Dusseldorf in Germany, adding that it was not a suicide note, the report added.
"Both the home of the co-pilot in Duesseldorf and the home in Montabaur have been searched," chief public prosecutor Ralf Herrenbrueck said in Duesseldorf.
Duesseldorf prosecutors have opened a parallel inquiry to the main investigation under way in France as many among the 150 crash victims were from the German region.
