- Her legal team is seeking the appointment of an investigating judge, who would test the evidence and any statute‑of‑limitations questions.
- Two other women filed complaints Tuesday for sexual assault and attempted rape using a procedure that asks a judge to take the case, after similar 2019 filings were closed by prosecutors in 2020.
- Separate investigations are active in Paris for an attempted rape linked to a 1997 trip to Mexico, in Saint‑Malo for an alleged 2012 rape, and in Belgium for an alleged assault in Brussels, following press reports collecting accounts from around 30 women.
- Feminist groups have launched a petition to cancel his upcoming tour and staged protests, while Bruel continues to deny all accusations and remains presumed innocent.
