On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled around 30,000 pages of documents encompassing images, legal records, and emails related to Jeffrey Epstein. This release followed the initial disclosure of documents on Friday and Saturday regarding the DOJ’s case files concerning the deceased convicted sex offender. The newly revealed documents contain information on Canadian links.
One significant document featured in the files was an April 2020 letter crafted by the DOJ and dispatched to authorities in the U.K. This communication aimed to arrange an interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—formerly known as Prince Andrew—regarding potential ties to fashion tycoon Peter Nygard. According to the letter, evidence indicated connections between Mountbatten-Windsor, Nygard, and Epstein in two separate sex-trafficking investigations. It highlighted a visit by the ex-prince to Nygard Cay, Nygard’s opulent Bahamas estate, where Nygard allegedly trafficked both minor and adult female victims.
While the former prince was not under investigation at the time and no proof of any U.S. law violations by him existed, U.S. authorities sought to question him about his visits to Nygard Cay during the investigative period and any information he might have regarding Peter Nygard and associated individuals. The letter suggested that if Mountbatten-Windsor shared pertinent details during an interview, he might be asked to testify in either the Nygard or Epstein cases.
The U.S. authorities had specific inquiries for their U.K. counterparts to pose to Mountbatten-Windsor, including details on his meetings with Epstein or Nygard, visits to their properties, and interactions with women connected to either individual. Nygard has been involved in numerous sexual assault allegations across various jurisdictions and was convicted in 2023 by a Toronto jury on four sexual assault charges.
Additionally, one FBI “intake” record included allegations from an anonymous individual in August 2020, claiming to have been groomed by a Serbian Canadian “lingerie model actress” and another person in 1996 when they were 19. The complainant also reported their artwork being stolen by these individuals to settle a debt, revealing a scheme that led to encounters with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein shortly after the theft. Maxwell, who was implicated in recruiting underage girls for Epstein, was arrested in July 2020, convicted on multiple charges, and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
In another FBI allegation dated August 5, 2020, an individual, identified as a jewelry designer, recounted being introduced to Epstein in New York City around 2004 or 2005 by a Canadian woman who was also associated with Maxwell. The woman, described as an aspiring French Canadian model, was allegedly involved in procuring young women to meet Epstein, many of whom were underage aspiring models from foreign countries. The allegation further mentioned the woman receiving cash from Epstein for her assistance and indicating his preference for massages.
