PARIS - French investigators searched disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein's luxury Paris apartment on Tuesday , deepening a probe into allegations that the sex offender procured young women to abuse in France.
Epstein's flat on Avenue Foch near the Champs-Elysees - one of the world's most exclusive addresses - was scoured for evidence from Monday afternoon to the early morning hours of Tuesday, a source close to the probe told AFP. 'SEX SLAVE' Last month, the investigation officially spilled over from the US to France when the Paris prosecutor's office opened its own inquiry into claims of rape and sex abuse, including of minors.
In a letter to the chief Paris prosecutor seen by AFP, the former Dutch model, now 46, says she was drugged and raped by Brunel at a Paris flat - situated on the prestigious Avenue Hoche - when she was just above the age of consent. Brunel in 2015 issued a rare statement in which he vehemently denied involvement,"directly or indirectly" in any crimes by Epstein, with whom he fell out in later years.
