Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is set to be released from prison and placed under judicial supervision.

French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a close associate of the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his prison cell in La Santé in 2022. The 76-year-old had been held there for over a year as he was investigated on suspicion of the rape and trafficking of minors for sexual exploitation. He had denied any wrongdoing.
