France's Epstein Probe Draws About 10 New Potential Victims

Prosecutors will first mine US files to map Epstein's French network for possible facilitators.

Overview

  • Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau, who spoke Sunday in a Public Sénat and RTL interview, said about ten people have contacted authorities as potential victims.
  • Investigators have not yet taken their testimony because they are studying thousands of Epstein documents released by the US government.
  • The priority is to identify individuals in France who may have helped Epstein commit crimes under the country's human‑trafficking laws.
  • Some of the potential victims live outside France, which will require cross‑border coordination before formal interviews.
  • In a separate matter, complaints against singer Patrick Bruel are being combined at the Nanterre prosecutor's office, with four filed so far and a complaint announced by TV host Flavie Flament not yet submitted.
