It’s a case that continues to generate a lot of ink. In 2019, American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was accused of trafficking minors and imprisoned. He was found hanged in his New York prison cell on August 10, 2019 and took with him every secret he had. However, the investigation continues into the crimes of the man who acted with his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, a Franco-British-American businesswoman, sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for complicity in sex trafficking. This Wednesday, January 3, several years after the discovery of this scandal, a judge in a New York court began to reveal the names of personalities closely or distantly linked to the American businessman.
And the least we can say is that they are very well-known celebrities. For the moment, it is difficult to really know the involvement of each of them, namely whether they are acquaintances, relatives or alleged accomplices of Jeffrey Epstein. Among the 10 to 180 names revealed, coming from a thousand pages of legal documents made public by the Manhattan federal justice system, there is notably that of Donald Trump. The name of the former American president emerges from the documents, but for the moment, no mention is made of any reprehensible behavior on his part. He is also not the only American president to see his name stand out since that of Bill Clinton is also cited.
Michael Jackson and Stephen Hawking cited
Renowned artists are also in this list, starting with Michael Jackson. The singer who died in 2009 is not the only one since we also find the magician and illusionist David Copperfieldor the former French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. A member of the British royal family is also cited and it is the Prince Andrew, said the Duke of York. Finally, among the recognized celebrities to appear in this list, we also find the former genius physicist, Stephen Hawking. The billionaire and co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates is also cited.
For the moment, it is difficult to really know the involvement of each of these celebrities, but the Epstein affair therefore seems to be well and truly relaunched.
