## Resource

French prosecutors said their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network had identified additional people who may have acted as recruiters, expanding the inquiry beyond the figures already publicly associated with him. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau described the network as “labyrinthine” and said investigators were following dozens of different leads, including connections stretching from New York to Saint-Tropez and Cannes. The investigation was opened after the U.S. Justice Department released a new cache of Epstein files in January, and French authorities said they had now identified 26 potential victims, including 13 who had not previously appeared in any case. Eight of those women still had to be interviewed, in part because some were living outside France. The development came after French modeling scout Daniel Siad, who had been accused of helping Epstein traffic women, was found dead at his home in July before investigators could question him. France had already examined figures from the modeling industry tied to Epstein, including Jean-Luc Brunel, who was arrested in 2020 on allegations involving rape of minors and trafficking for sexual exploitation before dying in jail in 2022. Authorities had also previously investigated former Elite modeling executive Gerald Marie, though that case was dropped because the statute of limitations had expired; Marie denied wrongdoing and said he had met Epstein only once. The new probe suggested French prosecutors were no longer treating Epstein’s French connections as a closed chapter, but were instead trying to identify the people who may have helped recruit women into his orbit and reconstruct how that network operated across borders. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: France's Epstein probe identifies '…
