Daniel Siad
Swedish-Algerian model scout who ran Epstein recruitment operations across Eastern Europe from Poland to Bulgaria. Criminal complaint filed in France in February 2026.
Also known as: Amar Siad, Daniel Amar Siad, Siad Amar, Dan Siad
Daniel Amar Siad is a Swedish national of Algerian Berber-Jewish origin, identified in declassified DOJ documents as a "scout or recruiter of girls and/or women for J. Epstein," in the words of Jean-Luc Brunel. He is now the most extensively documented non-Russian Eastern European recruiter in the Epstein files. A 2009 email confirms scouting plans across "small villages" in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.
His documented activity extends from the late 2000s through at least 2017 and spans Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Latvia. Prague appears to have functioned as a logistics hub. As early as July 2002, Siad emailed Epstein photos of young women from Marrakesh with the caption "Cute French girl in Marrakech." He received wire transfers from Deutsche Bank for his services. Bulgaria-specific findings from the EFTA documents reveal a sustained pattern of activity in Sofia:
April 12, 2010: Siad returned from Sofia and reported establishing contact with Next One modeling agency (nextoneagency.com), linked to Karin Models Paris. He wrote: "I made a great contact with an agency who would like to work with me and will represent them in europe... I will see with Jean Luc the ones he would like to send to New York" (EFTA-02426770). January 25, 2011: Siad was in Sofia again.
Epstein asked "Anyone new around?" (EFTA-02021526). October 22, 2012: Siad emailed from Sofia: "Hello Jeffrey i am here with the Princess she invited me to come with her to meet the Government officials" (EFTA-efta00668896). The "Princess" has been identified as Mom Luang Rajadarasri Jayankura, a Thai royal connected to Siad's foundation work. Bulgarian media outlets including Novinite, BNT News, and Fakti.bg extensively covered the Sofia connection after the EFTA documents surfaced.
In February 2026, a Swedish woman named Ebba Karlsson filed a criminal complaint in France alleging Siad raped her in 1990. A judicial investigation has been opened in Paris. France 24, Radio Prague, and Inkyfada reported on Siad's network in February 2026.
His case illustrates how the Epstein recruitment operation exploited the post-communist economic conditions in Central and Eastern Europe, using modeling contracts as the entry mechanism.
