On the eve of Jeffrey Epstein’s reported suicide in August 2019, about two thousand pages of court documents from an earlier trial were unsealed. The files contained statements from Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre about “powerful people” who allegedly had abused her. Most media have never mentioned this list, which includes the following men (see sources below):
- British Prince Andrew,
- “Another prince”,
- “Foreign presidents”,
- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak
- Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
- former US Senator and Disney President George Mitchell,
- US billionaire and Hyatt hotel heir Tom Pritzker,
- US billionaire and hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin,
- US billionaire and Epstein sponsor Leslie Wexner,
- former MIT professor Marvin Minsky,
- French model agent Jean-Luc Brunel,
- U.S. Attorney and Epstein Defender Alan Dershowitz,
- as well as other “powerful men” and “world leaders”.
All of these men deny any involvement, but some of Giuffre’s statements have been confirmed by other Epstein victims. In addition, Giuffre provided detailed witness testimony. Her statements and allegations cover the years from 2000 to 2002, when she was 16 to 18 years old.
In contrast to Epstein’s address book (the “little black book”) and the logbook of his private jet, the Giuffre files for the first time contain specific accusations of pedocriminal activities; Giuffre, however, is just one of over a hundred Epstein victims.
In July 2020, a judge ordered the “destruction” of the Giuffre files.
Giuffre’s statements are reminiscent of the Belgian witness files (X-files), which have been ignored or suppressed by European authorities and the media for over twenty years, despite the fact that they contain the names of some of the (formerly) most powerful men in Europe.
