Prosecutors: Special team for Epstein files
Cape Times
|February 16, 2026
THE Paris prosecutor's office at the weekend announced it was setting up a special team of magistrates to analyse evidence that could implicate French nationals in the crimes of the convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
-
With Epstein’s known circle now extending to prominent French figures after the release of documents by the US authorities, the prosecutor's office said it would also thoroughly reexamine the case of a former French modelling agency executive, Jean-Luc Brunel, a close associate of the American financier who died in custody in 2022.
The new team will work with prosecutors from the national financial crimes unit and police with a view to opening investigations into any suspected crimes involving French nationals, the Paris prosecutor's office said.
The aim is “to be able to extract any piece that could be usefully reused in a new investigative framework’, it said.
