Grizzly Research · March 19, 2026Accor, Epstein, and Ukrainian Orphans: Our Investigation Into Child Trafficking (Appendix)

Appendix to Grizzly Research's 19 March 2026 short report on Accor SA documenting an undercover email campaign to nearly 250 Accor‑branded hotels, in which roughly 80% of responding properties agreed to reservations explicitly suggestive of child sexual exploitation or controversial transfers of Ukrainian orphans to Russia, indicating potential systemic failures in Accor's safeguards against human trafficking and child abuse. The report accompanies a disclosed short position in AC.PA and argues that legal, regulatory and reputational risks under frameworks such as France's duty of vigilance law create material downside for shareholders.
