The Death Of Jean Luc Brunel · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Tonight,
0:05
we're gonna jump right back in to the death of
0:07
Jean lu Brunel and hopefully add a little more context.
0:12
Since this guy has been found in his jail cell,
0:14
there has been a ton of questions obviously about what happened,
0:20
and since then we have gotten some information, but as usual,
0:24
we don't have the full picture about what occurred. We
0:27
don't know exactly what went down in that jail cell,
0:30
so of course there's going to be a bunch of speculation.
0:34
And from where I'm sitting here in the Peanut Gallery,
0:37
I don't know how anyone can say one way or
0:40
the other what went down here. There is just not
0:43
enough there yet as far as information is concerned, for
0:46
me anyway to come to a conclusion one way or
0:49
the other. Like I explained on the other episode we
0:53
did on Jean Luperunell the other day, it's different with
0:56
the Epstein situation, considering all of the coincidences that led
1:01
up to that, the fact that he was in that
1:03
jail cell of Tartaglioni and the rest of it. Whereas
1:06
here it just looks like this guy kind of timed
1:10
it correctly right, knew when the guards were doing their
1:13
rounds and was able to clip himself. And even in
1:17
the Epstein case, I am more than willing to believe
1:22
that he killed himself as well if the evidence is
1:25
provided for me, that's the most important part, Right where
1:29
is the evidence? Where does it lead us? I don't
1:31
want to run around looking like some kind of Yahoo
1:33
chasing my tail like a lot of these other people do.
1:36
Who has time for that shit? This is already way
1:38
too time consuming for me, never mind chasing down weird
1:42
conspiracy theories all over the place. So I'll let other
1:45
people do that, and I'll just chill here and remain
1:47
agnostic and take the information as it comes and then
1:51
process it and try and come up with a logical conclusion.
1:56
So that's why it's so important to continue to add context,
1:59
to continue to add even just if it's one little gem,
2:03
got to add it to the catalog, because that could
2:05
be the key to making everything more clearer. Right, So
2:09
tonight that's what we're going to attempt to do. And
2:12
unfortunately breaking news, we don't have any breaking news. That's
2:17
not what I do here. I process the news, I
2:19
curate the news and we discuss it. But what I
2:22
try to do is add as much context as possible.
2:25
That way, you folks are armed and prepared when the
2:29
next article comes out or the next situation pops up.
2:32
So with that said, why don't we jump into this
2:35
article from twenty minutes over in France and let's see
2:39
what author to t Bault Cheber and Philippe Berry have
2:46
to say headline Epstein case the suicide of Jean lu
2:50
Brunel end of the French part of the investigation. And
2:54
you would think, right, look, it sounds bad. Oh that's
2:58
the end of the investigation. But this is what happens
3:00
when people die. You don't keep investigating them after they're dead.
3:04
We learned that with Jeffrey Epstein, didn't we, So I
3:07
would expect the same thing to be true here. Now.
3:10
I don't know if that means the investigation is dead completely.
3:13
In France, We'll have to continue to see what happens.
3:16
But I don't know what else they have to go
3:18
on over there, unless, of course they have something on
3:21
Glenn Maxwell or Prince Andrew or something, then obviously they
3:25
would keep the investigation open. But I'm not too sure
3:28
what the process is over here as far as like,
3:31
do they do the grand jury type deal or you know,
3:33
I'm the laws are different everywhere, right, so there's all
3:37
sorts of different nuances and minute details that come into play.
3:42
So it'll be interesting to see if this is the
3:45
end of their investigation in you know, completely, or if
3:50
they'll there'll be some you know, side investigations. Perhaps the
3:56
death of Jean Lou Brunel undoubtedly marks the end of
3:59
the investigations in France concerning the Epstein case. Well, there
4:03
you have it. That's the end of that. So Jean
4:06
Luke Brunell obviously no longer going to be investigated in France,
4:10
and according to this article, maybe not even any more
4:14
investigations at all. For the investigators who have been working
4:18
on this file for several months, it is a disappointment.
4:22
It has to be, you know, you think about it.
4:24
You're one of these cops, one of these honest cops
4:27
that's out here that actually wants to make a difference,
4:29
wants to bag and nab perpetrators like Maxwell and Brunell,
4:35
put them in prison for the rest of their lives.
4:37
And then they do that. They put him in prison,
4:39
put him in jail, and while he's there in custody
4:42
in their charge, he ends up dead. It has to
4:46
be frustrating as hell. And you heard from a lot
4:49
of the police officers who were involved in the original
4:53
arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach they felt the
4:55
same way. They were disgusted by all of it, the
5:00
way it went down, and then obviously Jeffrey Epstein being
5:03
able to kill himself while in their custody. The police
5:08
of the Central Office for the Suppression of Violence against
5:11
the Person spared no effort and carried out more than
5:14
half a thousand hearings to try to find other women
5:17
who were allegedly victims of the former French model agent. Wow,
5:21
so they were pretty busy over here in France. According
5:24
to this article, more than half a thousand, so more
5:27
than five hundred hearings to try and find other women
5:30
who are allegedly victims of Jean Lupurnau. That's pretty significant.
5:36
I wonder what they came up with. I mean, I
5:39
guess we'll never know if this investigation is going to end.
5:42
I'm guessing they'll just ice it, probably never release it
5:46
for public consumption. Again, I'm not too sure. Is there
5:50
like a freedom of Information Act you can file over
5:52
in France to get documentation or is it something that
5:56
when the government says, look it's a rap, it's a rap.
5:59
So we'll have to see what comes of it. But
6:03
it is definitely disappointing. And if you think the investigators
6:07
are disappointed, how do you think some of these survivors feel.
6:11
And you can't say all of them, right, because some
6:14
who maybe the statue of limitations has run out on them,
6:17
or who weren't having their voices heard for whatever reason.
6:21
I'm sure a lot of them are happy that the
6:23
dude is dead. I know that's kind of crude to say,
6:26
but it's the truth. If somebody wrongs you in such
6:30
a way, it's only natural and it's only a human
6:34
emotion for you to want to see them be hurt
6:37
or punished in some way as well. When he hanged
6:43
himself in his cell in the prison of Health last
6:46
weekend in Paris, this close to the American billionaire Jeffrey
6:50
Epstein was indicted for rape of two women when they
6:53
were miners and for sexual harassment on a former babysitter.
6:57
So again we know what he was in there for.
7:00
I know the nature of the allegations against him, and
7:04
in fact, I won't even call them allegations. That's how
7:07
confident I am that this shit really happens. There's no
7:10
gray area here, folks. Right when there's this many women
7:13
who come out, this many people who come out, and
7:16
the writing is on the wall, why even give these
7:19
people the benefit of the doubt? They don't deserve it.
7:22
People like him, people like Epstein, they do not deserve it.
7:27
Accused of having played the touter for Jeffrey Epstein, Brunel
7:31
was also placed under the intermediate status of assisted Witness
7:35
for the facts of aggravated human trafficking to the detriment
7:39
of minor victims for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Now
7:43
let that settle in for a minute. Think about how
7:47
heinous and disgusting of a excuse of a human being
7:51
you have to be to engage in something like that,
7:55
aggravated human trafficking to the detriment of minor victims for
7:59
the purpose of se actual exploitation. There is not a
8:04
hell hot enough for this dude to burn in in
8:06
my opinion. But the police suspected Brunell above all of
8:12
having abused in the nineteen eighties, many young women from
8:15
modest backgrounds to whom he promised a career in modeling
8:19
and modeling. And that's for sure, that was the moo.
8:22
Him and Jeffrey Epstein both used that, And I wouldn't
8:25
be surprised if Epstein took that right from Brunell's playbook.
8:31
Let's not act like Brunell met Epstein and then all
8:33
of a sudden became this predator and this sick fuck.
8:36
These guys were a match made in heaven, right, perfect
8:38
for each other, talk about fellow travelers and all. So
8:43
they got together and it was perfect. Jeffrey Epstein he
8:48
had the money, he had the means, he had the people,
8:51
and Jean Lou Brunell, well, he had access to a
8:54
bunch of vulnerable girls from war torn countries, developing countries.
8:59
Place is where poverty is a everyday reality, and this
9:04
dude had access to all of that and he used
9:07
his power, he used his prestige to bring those girls
9:10
into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit for all of them to abuse them. So, yeah,
9:15
there is not a hell hot enough for this sick
9:17
fuck to burn in in my opinion, the problem the
9:22
facts denounced were often prescribed. We would have preferred him
9:25
to be judged for all his work. It's obvious, confides
9:28
a bitterly, confides bitterly a source close to the file
9:31
who sees in his gesture a form of confession. Oh,
9:35
I agree with that, there's no doubt. Look, of course
9:37
you want you want to see this through, especially if
9:40
you're one of the people who were abused. You want
9:42
to stare this sick bastard down, and you want to
9:44
know that he's going to prison, to rot away for
9:47
the rest of his life. But short of that, at
9:51
least this motherfucker ain't running around free. At least he's
9:54
never going to hurt anybody ever again. And obviously anyone
9:58
paying attention to the situation knows that this is an
10:01
admission of guilt. An honest man doesn't do this, An
10:05
honest man doesn't pay seventeen million dollars to somebody they
10:09
don't know. Okay. Two previous suicide attempts since the beginning
10:17
of the case. Jean lu Brunell, seventy five, claimed his innocence.
10:22
Arrested in December twenty twenty at Charles de Gaulle Airport
10:25
in Paris, as he was about to fly to Senegal.
10:28
He was remanded in custody. Of course he said he
10:30
was innocent. What's he going to say, not but I
10:32
did it all. I think you guys should take me
10:34
to whatever the worst prison we have in the country
10:37
is and let me rot there. Of course he's going
10:39
to say he didn't do anything. In fact, Jean lu
10:42
Brunell was so brazen and had such a set on
10:44
him that he even just tried to blame it all
10:46
on Epstein. Oh, Epstein did this, Epstein did that, Epstein
10:50
stole from me. YadA YadA, YadA. Notice when Epstein was alive,
10:54
none of that shit was occurring, right, This guy is
10:58
the ultimate scoundrel of the old mint coward. And for
11:02
him to have previous suicide attempts while in custody here
11:07
that really is strong evidence to me anyway that this
11:11
third time was, you know, the successful time that he
11:15
actually was able to make it work. On February nineteenth,
11:22
at one point fifty am, guards found him hanged in
11:24
the cell where he was alone. Despite the intervention of
11:27
the rescuers, he was declared dead at two h five am.
11:31
According to our information, during the fourteen months of his detention,
11:35
Jean Luke Brunel had made two suicide attempts, and again
11:39
I believe that that's a big part of the story here, right,
11:42
and what is at least making me lean towards the
11:45
fact that he probably did kill himself that end. Of course,
11:49
if there was no one else in the cell with him,
11:50
then it's a little difficult for him to have been
11:54
clipped right now, if he was found poisoned in there
11:57
or something, that's completely different. But unless somebody was crawling
12:00
through an air vent. And again, look, I'm not gonna
12:03
sit here and say it didn't happen. I have no
12:05
idea to who I think it's likely. No, not at all.
12:08
But until we have all of the evidence, Like usual,
12:14
we have stressed on many occasions that he is in
12:16
a very degraded state of health. An expert psychiatrist had
12:20
indicated that there was a risk of particular psychological fragility
12:25
in the event of prolonged detention. His lawyers, Mattias chich Portach,
12:30
Mary Anne Abergail and Christoph Ingrain told twenty minutes, so, yeah,
12:36
obviously right, and again look at the situation with Epstein,
12:41
and then look over here at Brunel. Epstein's lawyers and
12:43
everyone around him were saying a whole it was a
12:45
whole different story. He wasn't depressed, he wasn't suicidal, He
12:49
was nowhere near being suicidal, none of it. Whereas Jean
12:53
lu Brunel and the people around him, including psychiatrists, are
12:57
over here saying, yeah, dude wasn't right in the head.
13:00
And he knew the writing was on the wall for
13:02
this scumbag, and he knew that he was going to
13:05
spend the rest of his life in prison, and the
13:09
coward that he is, he couldn't take it. He couldn't
13:12
take the fact that he'd have to own up to
13:14
the abuse, and he certainly couldn't take the fact that
13:17
he'd have to pay the price. Detained with other VIPs
13:22
in the QB four ward for Low Quarter number four,
13:26
Jean lu Brunel was the subject of a special supervision
13:29
by the prison staff. In the event that a prisoner
13:32
has already had suicidal crisis, it may be decided with
13:35
the medical to set up a special supervision, explains Irwin Seyuti,
13:40
delegate of the FO Prison Union of the Ill. De
13:43
frant at Night will go more regularly to do a
13:46
check with the islet to make sure that that person
13:49
is well an average inmate, we will do three visual
13:52
checks during the night. There will almost double number of controls.
13:57
But you can't go there every hour either, because it
14:00
also oppressive for the detainee. You have to find the
14:03
right balance. Well, this is where I differ. If you're
14:07
a detainee of high value and somebody who is being
14:10
held and you're at risk of suicide or someone else
14:14
hurting you or whatever, you should be under a constant supervision.
14:17
And if that means a camera in yourself, so be it. Sorry,
14:22
that's just the way it goes, because if not, we
14:24
have ourselves a complete shit show. Right dude, you end
14:27
up dead. Now. You got all kinds of weird, crazy
14:29
theories going out there, the narratives thrown into the you know,
14:33
the the washing machine, and it's a whole big problem.
14:36
So why not just be more cautious and keep an
14:39
eye on these types of people and then once they're
14:41
convicted after their trial, then they can, you know, go
14:44
back to having no camera in their cell, go live
14:47
in general population. If that's what you want to do,
14:49
I don't care. The second you're convicted, the second that
14:53
it's all said and done and the state, the people,
14:58
and the survivors themselves get justice. I don't care what
15:01
happens to these people. They can go to prison and
15:04
rot there for all I care. There is no rehabilitation
15:07
for people like this when it comes to other crimes,
15:10
just about any other crime. I'm all about being rehabilitated
15:15
and prisons helping people get rehabilitated. But when you're hurting
15:18
women and children and you're doing it in a careless
15:21
manner the way Jean lu Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein were, yes, sorry,
15:25
I don't give a fly, and fuck about you presumed guilty.
15:31
An investigation entrusted to the third District of Judicial Police
15:35
was opened by the Paris Prosecutor's office to shed light
15:38
on the causes of his death. In particular, investigators can
15:42
rely on the images of the surveillance cameras installed in
15:46
the corridor to ensure that these checks have been carried out.
15:49
So obviously they're gonna have to go through all of
15:51
the tape. They probably have who knows, and they'll know
15:54
if these guards were doing their due diligence or if
15:57
they were sleeping like the guards were, Who are supposed
15:59
to be watching Epstein, and we'll get more information obviously
16:04
as it comes out, but so far it seems like
16:07
they were on their game and they were doing their checks.
16:10
At least. The results of the autopsy, which was carried
16:14
out on Monday, are not yet known, although there is
16:17
almost no doubt that Jean Luke Brunel ended his life alone. Again,
16:22
if there was no one in that cell, it's going
16:24
to be a hard cell to get me to believe it, right,
16:29
I you know, how did someone kill him? If there's
16:31
no one else in that cell? And if there's video
16:35
evidence that no one was in or out, all right, well,
16:37
it's a lot more believable then the bullshit they're trying
16:40
to pump about Epstein. No, and again I'm not saying
16:43
that I do believe that this happened. I don't know.
16:45
Let me see the video myself. At this point, That's
16:48
where I'm at. According to his lawyers, the man felt
16:54
that he was presumed guilty and that the media judicial
16:57
sentence had already fallen nothing justify prison anymore. According to
17:01
the Judge of Freedoms and Detention, and Detention judicial review
17:05
would have been the simple and strict application of the
17:07
law in cases like this. They add, well, look, dude,
17:11
you don't want to go to prison, and you're depressed
17:13
because you're in prison. Here's an idea. Don't molest, don't rape,
17:17
and don't sexually assault people. Then you don't have to
17:19
worry about going to prison. And as far as being
17:22
found guilty before bro decades of evidence, plenty of people
17:26
coming forward. This is in gray area, he said. She said,
17:30
one person coming forward, you know, no evidence to back
17:33
it up, none of that. At his request, Jean Luke
17:39
Brunel was to be confronted on March eleventh with two
17:41
of his accusers, a former babysitter and a foreign model.
17:45
I didn't think my clients would consent to the confrontation
17:48
because I know that psychologically it was quite complex. We
17:52
had started working on it and they wanted to go
17:54
to the end of the process, pass the course and
17:57
be in the same room as him. It's not easy,
17:59
he says. They're lawlawyer and Claire Lejeune. So you have
18:02
two of the people who were accusing him, were preparing
18:05
to confront him in this jail over this these allegations,
18:10
and with that date quickly approaching, well, you know, it's
18:16
a real shame. The death of Jean Luke Brunell means
18:19
the extinction of public action, at least in the part
18:22
concerning the rape accusations. The same could apply to the
18:26
part of the case concerning acts of trafficking and human beings,
18:29
unless other persons were to be implicated, which for the
18:33
time being is not the case. So again, like we
18:37
asked at the beginning, is this the end of the
18:39
case in France? And it certainly looks to be that
18:41
way of folks. For the plaintiffs, it is a feeling
18:47
of frustration that dominates. Brunell will never have the opportunity
18:51
to explain himself in court. He was still indicted and
18:54
remanded in custody. My clients are aware that their words
18:57
has still been taken into consideration, says Anne Claire Lejeune,
19:01
before concluding there was a will that went beyond their
19:05
own interest. They did so for those who denounced prescribed facts,
19:10
there was something quite strong in their approach. It's a
19:13
real shame and it is and we've seen it how
19:15
many times now as far as the Epstein case goes.
19:19
We just saw it with the Supreme Court acting like
19:21
a bunch of morons not taking this case. We see
19:24
it here. I mean, you just see it over and
19:26
over and over again, the lack of justice. And what's
19:30
so galling about it is all of these people were
19:33
right there for the federal government to swoop up, for
19:36
the federal government to punish, and instead they had better
19:40
things to do, obviously, so people like Epstein and Brunel
19:44
and Maxwell were able to go on for decades, literally decades,
19:48
and abuse people. Finally he gets arrested and it's almost
19:53
time for justice, and this son of a bitch somehow
19:56
wiggles off the hook once again. Oh there you have it, folks,
20:01
a little more context for the death of Jean lu
20:03
Brunel as much as we have anyway, and I figure
20:06
the best way to do it is go directly to
20:08
the source in France and uh, you know, follow the
20:11
story right along with them. So that's what we'll continue
20:14
to do here, and we'll continue to add nuggets as
20:17
they pop up. But one thing is for sure, there
20:20
is still a lot of questions that need to be answered,
20:22
and there are still, unfortunately a lot of curveballs coming
20:27
our way. That's gonna do it. For tonight's episode, obviously
20:32
some context episodes on their way. Tomorrow morning, be right
20:36
back at it bright and early, and we'll see where
20:38
we're at. If you'd like to contact me, you can
