Paris prosecutors have opened two separate criminal investigations linked to Jeffrey Epstein and are calling on victims to come forward with testimony, according to a Courthouse News report.1
Prosecutor Laurence Beccuau called on victims who may have never spoken up before to file formal complaints or make witness accounts to feed French and foreign investigations.1
The prosecutor’s announcement explicitly references coordination with foreign investigations, according to the report.1
Beccuau’s specific appeal for victims who have not previously come forward indicates French authorities are seeking additional witnesses beyond those who have already provided testimony in other proceedings.1
The call for witness testimony comes as multiple countries have launched investigations following document releases related to Epstein’s network. French authorities previously established a specialized team to review Epstein files for French nationals, and Paris police conducted a raid at the Arab World Institute as part of their investigation.
