French police have released new images from Jeffrey Epstein's Paris flat showing a masseuse table, 'massage devices' and photographs of naked women as decorations.

Le Parisien published the photographs of the 18-room flat on Avenue Foch, along with a series of images taken during a 2019 investigation into rapes allegedly committed there by Jean-Luc Brunel, a former modelling agent.

Brunel, who was an associate of Epstein, took his own life in prison in 2022 while awaiting trial in France for the rape of a child.

The late agent was central to investigations in France into alleged sexual exploitation by Epstein.

The flat pictured is the same one where former diplomat Peter Mandelson was photographed standing in his underpants.

Epstein's flat, purchased by him in 2001, was decorated in colours such as red, orange and pink.

Images show photos of naked women hanging on the wall, including one that shows the paedophile laying next to two topless women.

Other photographs show a dimly lit room with a masseuse table and a drawer with a pair of 'massage devices.'

One so-called 'Chinese room' in the flat had dragon wallpaper and portraits of Chinese emperors, and his study room was lined in red leather.

The reception room, called the 'rotunda' had a bearskin rug on the floor and overlooked the Arc de Triomphe.

Epstein seemed to enjoy animal ornaments, decorating the the apartment with ram and antelope horns as well as faux tiger skin.

Several stuffed animals were also featured in the apartment, including a vulture and an elephant calf.

Those who had spent time in the home, including a butler and a decorator, previously spoke about the number of photographs of young women decorated on the walls of the home 'like family photos'.

One workman previously said he had been 'struck by the numerous photos of young girls in the apartment'.

He added in an interview with Radio France: 'They were arranged in frames, a bit like family photos.

'The girls seemed very young. Minors? Hard to say. Not much older than 18 in any case… Seeing the photos, we didn't think of paedophilia, but it was borderline, close to it.'

The butler also said Epstein would visit the massage room 'three or four times a day'.

'You could call these paid relationships,' he said, adding, 'not all the massages involved sexual relations'.

Three years after the paedophile's death, the flat was sold for over £7million to Bulgarian tycoon Georgi Tuchev.

Investigators in France are now looking through the files on Epstein to construct a picture of alleged crimes at the property.

At least three women have said that they were abused by Epstein or his associates on French soil, but investigators think there are many more.

The photos have been released in the hopes that more women come forward.

Child protection group Innocence en Danger said it obtained around ten accounts of alleged sex crimes linked to the late paedophile in France.

French prosecutors have now opened two new investigations, one into alleged financial crimes and another into human trafficking.

Chief Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said: 'We are hoping all this data will help us get a well-informed, very broad, panoramic view [of the case].'

The release of these images come as newly-released documents suggest Epstein may have also been involved in drug trafficking.

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice show that the US Drug Enforcement Agency once opened an investigation into Epstein and 14 other unidentified individuals' money transfers, which authorities believed could be linked to trafficking illegal narcotics.

'DEA reporting indicates the above individuals are involved in illegitimate wire transfers, which are tied to illicit drug and/or [adult work] activities occurring in the US Virgin Islands and New York City,' the heavily redacted memo from 2015 says.

It shows that authorities in New York opened the investigation into nearly $50 million in suspicious wire transfers Epstein and 14 other targets made starting on December 17, 2010 - two years after he reached a non-prosecution agreement with the federal government and nine years before he was arrested on federal trafficking charges.

Sources involved in that case told CBS News prosecutors were unaware of this earlier DEA investigation.

It remains unclear what prompted the DEA to launch the five-year long probe and what may have come of the investigation, as the 2015 document notes that the matter is 'judicial pending' and was active at the time it was written.

Much of the details about the investigation are redacted in the file.

But the nearly 70-page memo, which is marked as 'sensitive but unclassified,' appears to have stemmed from a request made by the DEA to the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces Fusion Center in Virginia seeking information from other agencies about Epstein and the other targets as part of an active case.
