A letter to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau offers purported emails with case files linking Marie to Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • Ebba P. Karlsson and Lisa Brinkworth personally delivered the request in Paris, according to an AFP journalist who witnessed the handoff.
  • The women say they can provide judicial documents and emails showing collaboration between Marie, Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein, with links to MC2 and E Model Management.
  • The signatories state that all but one were raped or sexually assaulted in France, and two say they were minors at the time of acts attributed to Marie.
  • A prior French inquiry tied to their complaints was closed as time‑barred in February 2023, while two ongoing Paris umbrella probes examine Epstein‑related trafficking and financial allegations.
  • The letter references Brunel, who died in custody in 2022, and names recruiter Daniel Siad, whom Karlsson has accused of rape and who denies the allegation; some signatories say they have also petitioned U.S. authorities.
