What are police procedures in France when the victim is a traveler?

I have a friend who went to France a few days ago. Now I have received the following message from a friend of hers:

"Hello, I'm Amanda's friend (fictional name) and I received a call from where she is informing that she's at the hospital that she's injured at a hospital"

I asked for details…

"All I know is that she's physically injured, she also said you'd know what happened, they (the hospital staff) don't know what happened either"

And yes, I know what happened, but this is police matter (details removed)

Guy I suspect has already been arrested in my country and is sought by the police here, I want to find a way of informing the French police before he leaves the country.

I also don't know how to contact the French police or even find the hospital my friend is in, and I don't speak French.

I would also like to know what are the conditions in which the police may already be in the case.

It turns out it was a scam to garner money from me, what I wasn't expecting though was that my "friend" was the scammer.

She was shaving her hair to tell people she had cancer
She was mutilating herself to say she was agressed
She took some drug to make her breasts make milk so she could say she got pregnant from rape
She had proper dressing to hide her hernia (http://pedroaraujo.site.med.br/fmfiles/index.asp/::XPR1XB::/H%E9rnia_incisional.jpg) so she could show it only when convenient to justify a story of aggresion
And so on
Her family also supports her with houses and people to support her lies, acting as a gang.
She very seldonly asked for money, she just kept doing it until u decided yourself to help her paying the hipothetical lawer and medicine (where in my case was around a month).

Because I don't want to have my name against a gang that knows where I live, I tried to make an anonymous delation on the police, but they simply answered they can't do anything without someone signing the delation and even if I did, it's highly unlikely that she'll be arrested because this is a "low dangerousness crime" and they won't give me police protection either.

By the way, I live in Brazil.
