France Launches Special Team to Re-Examine Jeffrey Epstein Evidence, French Nationals Implicated

• French authorities establish a dedicated team of magistrates to review evidence potentially involving French nationals in crimes linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
• The unit will analyze recently released US documents and reassess existing cases, including a thorough review of former modeling executive Jean-Luc Brunel's case.
• Brunel, a close associate of Epstein, died in prison in 2022 after being charged with raping minors; his case will be re-examined for new investigative avenues.
• New cases under review involve a French diplomat (Fabrice Aidan), a modeling agent (Daniel Siad), and a musician (Frederic Chaslin) based on US documents and complaints.
• Former French minister Jack Lang resigned from the Arab World Institute after appearing in Epstein-related documents; a tax fraud investigation has been opened against him.
