French prosecutors investigating allegations that Jeffrey Epstein enabled a human-trafficking network identify additional “potential recruiters” and 26 victims. Authorities say the case follows a complex trail linking locations in the United States and the French Riviera.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau says the investigation is pursuing several leads on people who may have played roles in recruiting or facilitating victims. She speaks after the July death of Daniel Siad, a modeling scout accused in connection with Epstein’s alleged trafficking. Siad is reported to have died at his home before prosecutors could question him.
Outlets describe the probe as ongoing and focused on building a larger picture of how the network operated across jurisdictions. The reporting emphasizes prosecutors’ newly obtained names and the number of victims identified, while noting that the investigation continues to develop details about potential recruiters and their alleged involvement.
