Ghislaine Maxwell seeks to overturn her 2021 conviction by citing a 2008 non-prosecution agreement that Epstein had with the federal government. Her legal team argues that this agreement protects co-conspirators, including Maxwell. The Justice Department countered that Maxwell was not recognized by prosecutors at the time of the agreement's creation and no evidence suggests she was intended to benefit from it. Although the NPA promised immunity to unnamed co-conspirators, Maxwell was prosecuted based on different grounds. Her lawyer criticizes the government's actions as a breach of promise.
Maxwell's legal team argues that Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement also shielded co-conspirators, claiming she is included in its protection. However, the Justice Department asserts she was never named or known to prosecutors during the deal, meaning no intent existed to benefit Maxwell.
Despite a non-prosecution agreement promising immunity to unnamed co-conspirators, Ghislaine Maxwell's team argues the U.S. unfairly prosecuted her after Epstein's death, questioning the integrity of the governmental commitment.
