Overview
- French daily Le Parisien published previously unseen images from Jeffrey Epstein’s 18-room apartment at 22 Avenue Foch, which he bought in 2001 near the Arc de Triomphe.
- The photos show a massage room, drawers containing sex toys, a massage table, and walls lined with framed pictures of nude or semi-nude women, with some images depicting Epstein alongside topless women.
- Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau announced separate investigations into suspected human trafficking and potential financial crimes, including money laundering, corruption and tax violations, with reliance on public material and complaints from child protection groups.
- Investigators have long examined the flat’s links to modeling agent Jean‑Luc Brunel, who faced rape and trafficking allegations and died in custody in 2022.
- Authorities say publicizing the material is intended to build a broader picture of possible offenses and encourage additional victims or witnesses to come forward.
