A prosecutor in France has revealed that the European country’s investigation into the network of late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has revealed around 10 new suspected victims.<\/p>\n
French magistrates are investigating possible crimes linked to French criminals who facilitated Epstein’s crimes.<\/p>\n
Speaking to RTL broadcaster, Paris public prosecutor Laure Becuau said on Sunday that about 20 suspected victims had made themselves known after he urged potential victims in February to speak out.<\/p>\n
While some were already known to investigators, he said, “new victims emerge who we didn’t know about at all.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are about 10 of them,\u201d he said, \u201cThe option we have chosen right now is to listen to these victims.\u201d<\/p>\n
“A certain number of them are abroad, so investigators have tried to organize suitable meetings for them to come to Paris,” the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
France also launched a human-trafficking investigation, after the United States Department of Justice released a trove of files from its investigation into the disgraced financier.<\/p>\n
French magistrates are looking to investigate possible crimes committed in France or involving French criminals who facilitated Epstein’s crimes.<\/p>\n
“We have once again seized Epstein’s computers, his telephone records and his address books,” he said. He said his team would “request for international assistance.”<\/p>\n
Epstein died in a US prison in August 2019 while facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex. The following month, French investigators searched Epstein’s luxury apartment in Paris.<\/p>\n
