国際 · French probe · アーカイブエプスタインのモデルスカウト、ダニエル・シアド氏（69）が、フランス検察の事情聴取前にパリ郊外で死亡しているのが見つかる執筆 2026年9月7日 21:22 UTC視聴文字起こし0:00A model scout who prosecutors say0:01recruited young women across the globe0:03for Jeffrey Epstein has died before he0:05could ever be questioned. Jean-Luc0:07Brunel, 69, was found dead at his home0:09in Colombes, France on July 20th, the0:12second time a key figure in the French0:13arm of the Epstein investigation has0:15escaped trial. Brunel's 28-year-old0:17roommate discovered his body. Nanterre0:19prosecutors have opened an investigation0:21and ordered an autopsy, but as of July0:2422nd, the cause of death remains0:25officially undetermined. What is known0:28is that Brunel was named more than 2,0000:30times in the declassified US Epstein0:31files. He was under formal investigation0:34for organized human trafficking and0:36criminal conspiracy opened in February0:38of this year. Five formal complaints had0:40been filed against him, including rape0:42allegations from former models. Paris0:44prosecutors confirmed that at least 240:47women had come forward or been0:48identified, but here's the critical0:49failure. Brunel was under phone0:52surveillance for months and never0:53arrested, never questioned. His death0:56now terminates all public prosecution0:58under French law. Victim's lawyer,1:00Anne-Claire Le Jeune, who represents six1:02women who filed complaints, accused1:04prosecutors of what she called1:06scandalous inaction. The lawyer1:08representing six victims said1:09authorities had all the surveillance and1:11evidence they needed and simply did not1:13act. Brunel is the second Epstein-linked1:15figure to die before facing justice in1:17France. In February 2022, modeling agent1:20Jean-Luc Brunel was found hanged in his1:22prison cell. Brunel had scouted young1:24women across Europe, South Africa, Cuba,1:26and Morocco for Epstein, who paid him1:28tens of thousands of dollars. Former1:30model Ebba Karlsson has said he had1:32raped her in 1990 when she was 20 years1:35old. The broader investigation into the1:36Epstein network in France continues, but1:39for the accusers who came forward, the1:41system meant to deliver justice has now1:43lost its second defendant without a1:44single day in court.記事を読むストーリーの時系列HeyDexショート動画 ↗
