PARIS, April 29 French law enforcement officers summoned actor Gerard Depardieu to the police station on Monday for questioning after two accusations of sexual harassment; he may be detained, BFMTV channel reports.
«On Monday morning, Gerard Depardieu was summoned (to the police — ed.) with the expectation of detention to answer accusations of sexual harassment… He is currently in one of the Paris commissariats for interrogation,» reports channel. 
We are talking about complaints filed by members of the crew of two films. One comes from a production designer involved in the 2021 film Green Shutters. The second is from a former assistant director of the film “The Magician and the Siamese” during the filming of 2014.
In February, it was reported that a production designer involved in the filming of the 2021 film filed a complaint against Depardieu with the prosecutor's office due to sexual violence and harassment during filming. Later in March, BFMTV reported that the prosecutor's office had opened an investigation against Depardieu based on this complaint, which became the third case opened against the actor amid similar numerous accusations.
In mid-February, the newspaper Ouest France, citing sources, reported another complaint filed by an unidentified former assistant director, who, according to her, was harassed by Depardieu during filming in 2014. It was noted that the Paris prosecutor's office began a preliminary investigation.
An investigation is already underway against Depardieu on suspicion of harassing actress Charlotte Arnoux. In April last year, the online publication Mediapart published a material in which it collected testimonies from 13 women who claim that they experienced sexual assault by the actor. We are talking about episodes that took place on the set of 11 films and TV series from 2004 to 2022.
Depardieu, who celebrated his 75th birthday in December, has always denied any accusations against him.
