The 48-year-old claimed he had fathered 18 children between 2002 and 2009. Authorities suspect he was attempting to help the 16 mothers, who were all immigrants, to obtain residency permits.

A spokesperson for the Paris police department said: “In exchange for this extravagance, the man received gifts from the women, the exact nature of which we do not know.”

In total, the 16 women illegally received €416,000 in benefits from the state.
