The publication of 3.5 million documents linked to the sprawling case involving sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has confronted the French justice system with an unprecedented situation and a Herculean task. How can it process the mountain of freely accessible data now before it, which could potentially contain a multitude of offenses, whether sexual or financial, committed on French soil?
On Wednesday, February 18, Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau announced the opening of two investigations entrusted to five magistrates. One will focus on “human trafficking,” covering what is commonly called solicitation or recruitment, and the other on “financial offenses of money laundering, breaches of probity, or tax fraud.” The investigations will be conducted in collaboration with the National Directorate of the Judicial Police, the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office and several national offices.
The head of the Paris prosecutor’s office pledged to make use of “the full body of data” that makes up the Epstein files, taking into account reports received in the form of complaints from victims or advocacy groups, information published by the media, or material already handled by the judiciary in the past. “These framework investigations will allow us to centralize the data so that we can analyze each piece in light of the others,” said Beccuau, describing it as a “titanic task of analysis.”
