"Jeffrey Epstein made $75,000 (55,000) of payments to accounts connected to Lord Mandelson, bank statements released by the US Department of Justice suggest. Between 2003 and 2004, Epstein appears to have sent three separate $25,000 payments referencing Lord Mandelson. Lord Mandelson said he had no record or recollection of receiving the sums and did not know whether the documents were authentic."
"The first, dated 14 May 2003, shows a payment was sent to a Barclays bank account where Reinaldo Avila da Silva - Lord Mandelson's partner at the time - is named as "A/C", typically an abbreviation for account. In that payment, a "Peter Mandelson" is named on the account as "BEN", which is often an abbreviation for beneficiary. The second and third payments of $25,000 were made to HSBC accounts only days apart in June 2004."
Bank statements released by the US Department of Justice appear to show three $25,000 payments from Jeffrey Epstein to accounts referencing Lord Mandelson in 2003–2004. The first, dated 14 May 2003, was sent to a Barclays account naming Reinaldo Avila da Silva as A/C and "Peter Mandelson" as BEN. Two further $25,000 transfers were made to HSBC accounts in June 2004. Lord Mandelson said he had no record or recollection of receiving the sums and questioned the documents' authenticity. Redacted images show him in underwear beside a female; he cannot place the location or identify the woman. Being named or pictured is not an indication of wrongdoing.
