Van Damme Faces Trafficking Allegations

Jean-Claude Van Damme is accused of human trafficking ties in Romania, sparking a major investigation.

Shocking Claims Emerge

A criminal complaint filed with Romania’s DIICOT alleges Van Damme’s involvement with a trafficking ring led by Muriel Bolea. Reports claim that during an event in Cannes, France, five Romanian women—known trafficking victims—were offered to the action star as a “gift.” The accusations suggest Van Damme was aware of their exploitation, igniting controversy around the Hollywood icon.

Exploitation Evidence Mounts

The women, reportedly vulnerable, bolster suspicions of sexual exploitation under Romania’s Penal Code Article 182. Lawyer Adrian Cuculis, representing a victim, ties Van Damme directly to the criminal network. One woman’s testimony to prosecutors triggered an official probe, intensifying scrutiny of the Cannes incident orchestrated by the trafficking group.

Broader Trafficking Crackdown

This case ties into Romania’s 2020 investigations targeting human trafficking and minor exploitation. Multiple figures, including Van Damme, face scrutiny for allegedly profiting from organized sexual exploitation, part of a wider effort to dismantle such networks.

Legal Steps Ahead

Since the incident occurred in France, Romania awaits approval from France’s Supreme Court to proceed. If greenlit, Van Damme and others must testify in Romania, shaping the investigation’s next phase.
