According to local media reports, the Paris Prosecutor's Office confirmed that searches were carried out in mid-October at three properties, including the Ritz Hotel in Paris, in the sexual abuse and human trafficking investigation against Egyptian billionaire Mohammed al-Fayed, who died in 2023.

The Paris Prosecutor's Office reported that some suspects were detained as a result of the searches, but were later released.

Noting that the searches and detentions were carried out within the scope of the preliminary investigation into allegations of "human trafficking, prostitution mediation and rape by an organized group" against the Egyptian billionaire, the prosecutor's office announced that some of Fayed's victims were also wiretapped by the French investigation authorities on the same dates.

Among the places searched were Fayed's properties, Villa Windsor and Villa Sainte-Therese in the west of Paris.

The prosecutor's office stated that some digital materials seized as a result of the searches were being examined.

Fayed, who died in 2023 at the age of 94, came to the fore with allegations of sexual assault against dozens of women. In their statements published in the press, the victimized women stated that Fayed used their villas in Paris for his sexual crimes.

Lawyers of the victims compared Fayed to US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who came to the fore for the crimes he committed and the same crimes as the organized crime group.
