New evidence points to Epstein’s possible collaboration with the KGB to collect compromising material in Moscow
Newly released documents relating to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein show that he may have run a large-scale espionage operation commissioned by the KGB, the British newspaper Daily Mail reports.
According to intelligence sources, Epstein launched a so-called “temptation operation” that allowed him to collect compromising material on influential people in the world. More than 3 million documents were found, including 1,056 that referred to Vladimir Putin and 9,629 that mentioned Moscow.
Epstein had meetings with Putin even after his conviction in 2008. According to sources, his luxurious lifestyle is not only due to his financial success but also to his activities in espionage circles.
American intelligence experts believe that Epstein entered the world of espionage through business ties with Robert Maxwell, a prominent media mogul who, like Epstein, died under mysterious circumstances. Maxwell is believed to have been an agent for Russian intelligence and laundered money in the West with Epstein’s help.
The documents also indicate that Epstein had long-standing ties to Russian organized crime, which allowed him to recruit young Russian citizens to collect compromising materials.
The sources emphasize that Epstein’s activities may have been related not only to Russian but also to Israeli interests. His connections to important political and business circles helped legitimize his activities.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Robert Maxwell’s daughter, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in organizing the trafficking of minors in connection with Epstein’s activities.
The documents also contain Epstein’s correspondence with high-ranking international leaders and businesspeople, in which various meetings and opportunities to obtain information about political leaders were discussed.
American law enforcement officials note that these materials reveal how Epstein could operate in international espionage and influence political processes through his complex network of connections and blackmail.
