\"being questioned\" moze, ali to bi vise znacilo da su na ispitivanju, dok \"under investigation\" bas znaci \"obuhvaceni istragom.\"
za \"being probed\" slazem se s kolegicom Orloff.

being investigated, or have been named in the investigation/inquiry


Explanation:
Some additional suggestions...

Approximately 200 people are being investigated in connection with....(for ex.)

If it is not certain that they are the subjects of the investigation (are connected to those under investigation, or are preliminary witnesses, to be interviewed, etc), then "have been named in the investigation/inquiry"

I would avoid using \"persons\" being \"probed\" since it is kind of funny because it conjures up unintended imagery (use your imagination). Ouch!

\"are now being questioned\" works, as does \"are now being questioned as part of the/an investigation\" (\'the\' if inv. was already mentioned, \'an\' if this is the 1st mention)
