After months of research, Jean-Luc Brunel was finally arrested on December 17, 2020 and transferred to the prison of Health, in Paris.
Linked to the sex trafficking of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, he had been indicted for several rapes of minors over the age of 15, and "sexual harassment".
An investigation will be opened to shed light on the causes of his death, entrusted to the 3rd judicial police district.
Jean-Luc Brunel was arrested in December 2020 at Charles-de-Gaulle airport as he was about to take a flight to Dakar, and was imprisoned following his indictment.
He had been released under judicial supervision for a few days last November, before being returned to detention by decision of the investigating chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal.
He had lodged an appeal in cassation against this judgment.
