- Beccuau noted investigators are arranging meetings for victims currently abroad, though she added that "None of the people who could potentially be implicated have been questioned" so far.
- Around 20 suspected victims have now made themselves known following Beccuau's public appeal for potential victims to speak up, bringing the total count since the investigation began.
