Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘House of Sin’ apartment in Paris – where Prince Andrew lived – sells for £8.2m after listed estate heavily discounted

Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘House of Sin’ flat in Paris – where Prince Andrew lived – has sold for just over £8 million after the price had to be heavily reduced.

The disgraced financier and pedophile is said to have raped underage girls in the Parisienne apartment where he committed some of his worst sex crimes.

The luxury French flat, near the Arc de Triomphe, has sold to a Bulgarian investor for £8.2 million – £2 million less than the asking price.

The lair was once decorated with Epstein’s skull and eyeball artwork, but is now shuttered and empty. The sun reports. Sources claim that some of the proceeds from the sale could be given to Epstein’s victims in the future.

It comes as French police have been asked to reopen an investigation into the suicide of Epstein’s French ‘pimp’, Jean-Luc Brunel, who allegedly procured more than 1,000 women and girls for the financier to sleep with.

The fashion agent was in his mid-70s when he was found hanging in his cell at La Sante prison in Paris in February 2022 while serving time for supplying underage girls to the financier.

Virginia Roberts Guiffre, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault, also claimed to have been abused by Brunel.

The flat in Paris where both Andrew and Brunel met Epstein has been sold to Bulgarian plastic packaging businessman Georgi Tuchev, who brokered it through Sotheby’s for £360,000.

A source involved in the deal told The Sun: ‘It is claimed that some of the money from the proceeds will eventually be used to compensate the victims of Epstein’s sex ring.

‘It is clear that the history of the building did not assist the sales process and it sold for significantly less than the asking price.

“The dark past must have something to do with that, as well as the fact that the building was considered a crime scene for a long time.”

The Parisian source claimed that socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years behind bars for sex trafficking crimes, and Andrew were also guests.

Another investigative source said the apartment “remains interesting.”

Andrew was allegedly told by Epstein to treat the second-floor apartment “like his own” – and most of his travels came after the sex offender was convicted in 2008 of abusing young women.

The Paris flat where both Andrew and Brunel met Epstein has been sold to Bulgarian plastic packaging businessman Georgi Tuchev, who brokered it through Sotheby’s for a fee of £360,000.

A French investigation was launched in August 2019 after prosecutors learned that Brunel and Andrew both allegedly abused Guiffre.

Andrew claims he has no memory of meeting Guiffre, despite there being a photo of them together in Maxwell’s London townhouse.

Both Andrew and Brunel are said to have spent time in the Paris flat around the time of the alleged crimes, but there is no evidence to suggest the Duke was involved in any crimes there.

Police arrested Brunel in December 2020 as he tried to board a plane to Dakar, Senegal. He told investigators, “I’m going on vacation.”

Bruenl was charged by French police after being accused of supplying young girls to Epstein through his modeling agency connections.

One of the accusations was that he would fly three underage sisters from a residential area in Paris to America as a ‘birthday present’ for Epstein.

The sale of the flat comes after the Duke of York was dragged back into the spotlight last month after recently released court documents released in the US alleged Andrew had an orgy with underage girls and touched a woman’s breast while he posed with a doll of himself. .

Andrew has always denied all allegations.
