Overview

• A criminal complaint filed with Romania's DIICOT accuses Jean-Claude Van Damme of knowingly engaging with trafficked women provided by a criminal group led by Morel Bolea.
• The alleged incident reportedly took place at a Cannes event organized by Van Damme, where five Romanian women were allegedly offered to him as a 'gift.'
• Witness testimony and legal filings suggest the women were in a vulnerable state and potentially exploited under Romanian law.
• Van Damme's agent, Patrick Goavec, has strongly denied the allegations, calling them 'grotesque and non-existent' and stating the actor will not comment further.
• The investigation is part of a broader human trafficking inquiry launched in Romania in 2020, with French judicial authorization required for further proceedings.
