Police have searched the Paris apartment of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as part of a French investigation into trafficking claims against the disgraced US financier.

Investigators arrived at Epstein’s luxury 800 sq metre apartment on the exclusive Avenue Foch near the Arc de Triomphe on Monday afternoon and worked through the night to search the premises.

Police also searched the offices of Karin Models, an agency founded by Epstein’s associate Jean-Luc Brunel, as part of a child sex abuse investigation.

Brunel, a once-powerful modelling tycoon and one of Epstein’s close friends, had been accused in US court documents of procuring minors for Epstein. He has previously denied any wrongdoing.
