Rémy Heitz, born on 1963-10-26, is a French magistrate specializing as an investigating judge (juge d'instruction) at the Paris Judicial Court (Tribunal judiciaire de Paris). As a Paris Prosecutor and senior magistrate in France's independent judiciary, he has handled several high-profile investigations into serious offenses, including organized crime and corruption, leveraging his role to oversee complex criminal probes under French law. Heitz gained international attention for leading the investigation into modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, accused of procuring underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network. The probe, initiated around 2019-2020, resulted in Brunel's indictment for rape and human trafficking before Brunel's death by suicide in custody on 2022-02-19 while awaiting trial. This case highlighted Heitz's involvement in transnational sex crime networks, though specific other cases remain less publicly detailed.
