Overview

• Police arrested four people on June 21 at Disneyland Paris—including the British organizer, a 24-year-old Latvian accomplice, the girl’s mother and another Latvian participant—with only the organizer and accomplice remaining under judicial scrutiny.
• The 39-year-old British suspect was indicted by the Meaux public prosecutor’s office and remanded in custody on fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and identity theft charges.
• Investigators placed both the organizer and his Latvian accomplice under witness-assisted status for alleged corruption of a minor as authorities continue to expand the probe.
• The ceremony was a fabricated event filmed for private use and social media, and Disneyland Paris was misled into privatizing the park through forged documents.
• Officials confirmed the 9-year-old Ukrainian girl was not subjected to violence or coercion, and the ongoing inquiry aims to uncover the full network and motives behind the scheme.
