French prosecutors have launched investigations into potential offenses by French nationals revealed in the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files. The probe includes examining three new complaints, one of which targets French diplomat Fabrice Aidan, whose name appears frequently in the documents. The Foreign Affairs Ministry filed the complaint against Aidan, who denies all accusations. Another complaint involves Daniel Siad, accused of rape in 1990 by a Swedish woman. Prosecutors are also revisiting an earlier investigation into Jean-Luc Brunel, an Epstein associate who died in a Paris prison in 2022. The investigations aim to uncover potential sexual or financial crimes committed under French law.
