In a bombshell revelation, newly released US Justice Department documents have brought global leaders into the spotlight as investigators continue to scrutinize Jeffrey Epstein's web of connections. Among those implicated are several high-profile figures from around the world, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
The latest batch of files, comprising over three million pages of documents, has shed new light on Epstein's dealings with wealthy and influential individuals in various countries, including India, Australia, Norway, Slovakia, and Israel. The revelations have sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability among the global community.
Modi's name features prominently in the documents, which show a deepening relationship between him and Epstein that dates back to 2017. Anil Ambani, Modi's billionaire brother-in-law, was also named as a key figure in the Epstein files. The two men exchanged emails about various topics, including India's relations with the US and Israel.
Epstein's interactions with Rudd are similarly striking. In an email, Epstein mentioned that he had invited Rudd to meet him on one of his private islands, sparking controversy over their relationship. Rudd has since denied ever visiting Epstein and claimed to have no recollection of receiving any such invitation.
Meanwhile, Peter Mandelson, a former UK cabinet minister, has resigned from the Labour Party following allegations about his connections to Epstein. The documents show that Mandelson had received $75,000 in payments from Epstein over several transactions in 2003 and 2004.
The case is taking an unexpected turn as Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway has come under scrutiny due to her extensive contact with Epstein. Her emails reveal a close relationship between the two, including flirtatious messages and gifts.
In another shocking revelation, Slovakia's national security adviser Miroslav Lajcak has resigned following allegations about his dealings with Epstein. The documents show that he met with the sex offender several years after his release from jail and exchanged text messages about women in 2018 during his second spell as foreign minister.
As investigations into Epstein's networks continue to unfold, world leaders are facing mounting pressure to explain their connections to the disgraced financier. With the global fallout deepening by the day, it remains to be seen how these revelations will shape the course of international relations and accountability in the years to come.
