"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. Being named in the files is not evidence of criminal activity, however."
"ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, younger brother of King Charles, has been forced to move out of his mansion on the royal estate in Windsor. In October, after a previous disclosure, King Charles stripped him of his title of prince, one of the most dramatic punishments of a royal in modern British history. Last Saturday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before a U.S. congressional committee. Police also said they were reviewing allegations that a woman was taken to an address in Windsor for sexual purposes in 2010. Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, has always denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein."
"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"
Millions of internal Justice Department documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein's ties to prominent Europeans in business, academia, government and royalty. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting a sex-trafficking trial. Epstein used wealth and connections to cultivate relationships globally for decades, and many ties persisted after his 2008 conviction on prostitution charges involving an underage girl. Being named in the files is not evidence of criminal activity. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to leave his Windsor mansion, was stripped of his prince title, faces police review of allegations and has denied wrongdoing. Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit exchanged emails with Epstein after 2008, used flattering terms, and investigated him in 2011.
