The US Department of Justice publishes the results of an investigation that lasted more than a year and a half. On 128 pages – a report that details the circumstances of the death of American financier Jeffrey Epstein. His body was found in a holding cell in August 2019. One of America’s most notorious prisoners, accused of underage sex trafficking, committed suicide without the physical intervention of strangers. Such a result of the investigation was summarized by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. But they still found the culprit.
“The New York Chief Medical Examiner’s Office has determined Epstein’s cause of death to be suicide. Today’s report follows numerous other reports from the Federal Bureau of Prisons unaffiliated with Epstein that have repeatedly identified long-standing issues in the bureau’s operations that impact the ability to provide security facilities,” said U.S. Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Ministry of Justice. .
The Justice Department has blamed the death of a businessman on employees of the Lower Manhattan jail, where Epstein was held until trial. According to the data presented in the report, a few hours before the suicide, the guards allowed the financier to make an uncontrolled call. With whom the prisoner spoke, prison staff did not find. At this time, none of the video cameras were mysteriously working.
“Prison staff did not check the CCTV camera system, which resulted in only a limited amount of video evidence being recorded. The combination of negligence, misconduct and gross failure of performance documented in today’s report contributed to a context in which one of the most notorious inmates held here was left alone unsupervised in his cell, allowing him to take his own life,” Horowitz said in a statement.
Jeffrey Epstein was a very famous American figure. The richest businessman was friends with Bill Clinton and other American leaders. The scandal surrounding his surname began in 2006, when Epstein was suspected of having an intimate relationship with a minor. Over time, the story acquired more and more new details that stirred the imagination.
It turned out that Jeffrey had an accomplice, with whom they kept a young girl and sent them to influential people. High-profile clients included former US senators, the governor of New Mexico, a British prince, and even foreign presidents. One girl was followed by others. Epstein’s Palm Beach residence has become a veritable sex slavery empire. The girls involved spoke about it when they testified against the businessman. They shared the scariest details.
“I was 14 years old. What can we understand at this age? I told the person who brought me my age. She also spoke under Epstein. He was well aware of my age. He knew all about the girls he was hanging out with,” Jennifer Aroz told NBC NEWS.
Another victim, Sarah Ransome, told CBS Sunday morning that she had received death threats.
“The locks are locked, there is no way to escape. There is no one who will hear your screams and cries. I was made clear that if I go to the authorities, I will would talk to my parents or my friends…Jeffrey said, “I’m going to kill you and your family,” Sarah told Ransome.
One of the largest US banks JP Morgan Chase, whose financier was a client from 2000 to 2013, is also accused of complicity with Epstein. The management of the financial giant has already pledged to pay the victims 290 million dollars in moral compensation.
But Epstein’s mysterious death has raised even more questions. Few people believed the official version – suicide. Various conspiracy theories began to spread in the United States. Epstein has tarnished the reputations of too many influential people. On Tucker Carlson’s January show, while still at Fox News, an independent medical examiner who he says was present at Epstein’s autopsy noticed several oddities.
“I was present at the autopsy and noticed damage to the trachea which is more consistent with the murder. There were bruises in the eye area, again more typical of a violent death than a suicide. The suffocation mark did not match the noose provided as a bed sheet. So in my opinion, it looks more like a murder than a suicide. But we don’t know how the body was found. For example, whether he was hanged or not,” said medical examiner Michael Baden.
Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison under a human trafficking article for complicity with Jeffrey, also opened up about the possible murder on TalkTV . This happened a year after his death.
“I believe it was murder. For me it was a shock. I was wondering how this could happen because I was sure he was going to appeal and was covered by the arrest agreement. criminal prosecution,” she said.
But no one among Americans began to mourn this death. The same Tucker Carlson in his broadcasts did not hesitate to call this suicide a “cartoon”.
“The only people punished for Epstein’s cartoonish death were two prison guards who fell asleep while on duty that night. Both are found guilty, government records show. there was no real explanation for what happened. No one wants to talk about what happened to Jeffrey Epstein because a lot of people are happy with what happened,” the TV presenter said.
And, apparently, no one will understand the circumstances of the death of one of the most famous American prisoners. After all, the report of the Ministry of Justice directly confirms the official version of the forensic examination. What really happened in Epstein’s cell on August 10, 2019? And who did he talk to on the phone a few hours before his death? This may remain a mystery.
