Daniel Siad, a self-proclaimed scout for models linked to Jeffrey Epstein, has been found in Paris amid allegations of sexual assault and his connections to Latvian victims.
The recent release of files by the U.S. Department of Justice highlights Daniel Siad as a prominent figure in Jeffrey Epstein's network, having appeared approximately two thousand times in the documents. Siad, an Algerian-born Swedish citizen, claims to be a model scout but has been accused of directly sending information about young women to Epstein instead of to legitimate modeling agencies. Reports indicate that he has recruited at least one Latvian woman into Epstein's network, raising concerns about his long-standing ties to the Latvian modeling industry.
Following his identification in Paris by French media, Siad released a statement distancing himself from Epstein's crimes. However, the situation escalated when allegations emerged that he was involved in the rape of a Swedish model in France during the 1990s. The media attention on Siad has intensified in recent weeks, drawing both national and international focus on his activities, including potential connections to broader abuse networks.
Furthermore, French lawyer and activist groups are urging victims from various countries, including Latvia, to come forward with their stories regarding Siad and others involved in similar criminal activities. This calls into question the extent of Epstein's influence and the network of individuals like Siad operating within it, highlighting the imperative for international cooperation in investigating these serious allegations and ensuring justice for the victims.
