Mentioned over 2,000 times in dossier, fashion recruiter who provided women to

A French fashion scout, accused of providing women for Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead in his apartment, according to reports.

Daniel Siad - whose name is mentioned more than 2,000 times in US Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein - was found dead on Monday at his home in Colombes, west of Paris, prosecutors said, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The cause of death remains unclear and is expected to be determined after an autopsy.

Siad was under investigation in France on charges of helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic and abuse women. He had repeatedly denied the charges, claiming he did not know the convicted paedophile "was dangerous." 

Siad and Epstein communicated for about 10 years, while their last correspondence took place shortly before the financier's suicide in 2019, in a Manhattan jail.

In emails included in the Epstein files, Siad bragged about the women he had found.

"Hi Jeffrey, I just found an amazing one. She's 20 but looks younger, from Latvia," he wrote in a June 2009 email, a year after Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to solicitation of prostitution.

In a July 2014 email, Siad seemed to compare recruiting women to fishing.

"In this job I feel like a fisherman; sometimes I catch fast, sometimes there are no fish," he reportedly wrote to Epstein.

In that exchange of messages, Siad expressed his dissatisfaction that Epstein had canceled a meeting.

"Of course I will reimburse you for any expenses. I appreciate your friendship and I hope this hasn't caused you too much trouble," Epstein replied.

However, Siad always denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

In February, he told French television that Epstein had "abused my trust" and claimed he had not been "in a position to know that this man was dangerous".

"I have nothing to blame myself for," he said in a video posted online.

Siad tried to present himself as "from Kabylia (a region of Algeria), French-born and a Swedish citizen."

 

However, he was accused by two women of grooming them to introduce them to Epstein. In February, former Swedish model Ebba Karlsson accused Siad of raping her when she was 20 and grooming her for Gerald Marie, the former head of the Elite fashion agency. Siad and Marie denied the allegations.

In May, a model identified only as Juliette said she was manipulated by Siad in 2004, when she was 21. She claimed Siad asked her if she was a model and if she had ambitions to move to the United States.

"I think he was trying to figure out if I would accept it without asking too many questions. And that's exactly what I did - I left things vague so I wouldn't seem difficult," she told AFP.

Juliette recounted that she was sent a plane ticket to New York and, upon arriving, went to Madison Avenue.

There she met Epstein, who, according to her, asked for her passport - an act she compared to "hostage-taking."

She said Epstein told her he couldn't meet her at that moment, but gave her $120 and offered to take her in his limousine to go shopping.

The next day, she returned to the building on Madison Avenue hoping for a job interview, but said she was given a tour of the building's premises, where she saw "photographs that focused on intimate parts of women's bodies."

"My internal alarm went off," she said after being escorted to a bedroom.

According to her claims, Epstein touched her inappropriately and then offered her a job as an escort at parties. Juliette said she immediately asked for her passport and left New York.

Stan Pottinger, a lawyer for Epstein's victims, stated in 2016 that he had spoken with Siad, "whom Jean-Luc Brunel — a fashion scout and longtime associate of Epstein, found dead in 2022 — described as a 'scout' or recruiter of girls and/or women for Jeffrey Epstein."
