Epstein files: Starmer tells MPs he will not 'walk away' amid calls for his resignation
"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."
Millions of internal Justice Department documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein's long-standing relationships with prominent European figures in business, academia, government, and royalty. Epstein used wealth and connections to cultivate relationships worldwide and maintained many ties even after his 2008 conviction on prostitution charges involving an underage girl. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Being named in the files is not evidence of criminal activity. High-profile Europeans whose ties appear include Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, forced from his Windsor residence and stripped of his princely title, and Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, whose emails with Epstein surfaced.
