"The US Justice Department's release of millions of internal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has exposed the late sex offender and financier's ties to European figures in business, academia, government and royalty. Epstein, who died of suicide in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, exploited his wealth and connections to cultivate relationships with prominent figures around the world over decades. Many connections continued even after his conviction in 2008 on prostitution charges involving an underage girl."
"CROWN PRINCESS METTE-MARIT The latest files show email correspondence between Norway's crown princess, Mette-Marit, 52, and Epstein after he was found guilty in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. Her name appears hundreds of times and, in 2012, she called Epstein "sweetheart," "soft hearted" and "very charming". Mette-Marit had denied knowing about Epstein's criminal past, but recently released emails show that she investigated him in 2011 and even wrote to him that it didn't "look too good""
The US Justice Department released millions of internal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that revealed his ties to European figures in business, academia, government and royalty. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking and used wealth and connections to cultivate relationships with prominent people worldwide over decades. Many connections continued after his 2008 conviction on prostitution charges involving an underage girl. Being named in the files is not evidence of criminal activity. High-profile Europeans named include Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was forced to leave his Windsor mansion and stripped of his prince title, and Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, whose emails with Epstein showed familiarity and concern about his past.
