Epstein files: These are the Canadians mentioned in the latest document release
CBC
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released nearly 30,000 pages of documents, including pictures, court records and emails, connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
It follows the initial release of documents Friday and Saturday related to the DOJ's case files about the late convicted sex offender.
Among the documents are the following Canadian connections.
One of the files included an April 2020 letter prepared by the DOJ and sent to authorities in the U.K.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York were hoping to secure an interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — then Prince Andrew — about possible connections to fashion mogul Peter Nygard.
The letter said evidence existed linking Mountbatten-Windsor to both Nygard and Epstein in two separate sex-trafficking investigations.
It said the former prince had at least once visited Nygard Cay, Nygard's luxury property in the Bahamas, "where Nygard is believed to have trafficked minor and adult female victims."
"U.S. authorities seek to question Prince Andrew regarding his visit(s) to Nygard Cay during the time period under investigation, and other information he may have about Peter Nygard and related individuals," it added.
The former prince was not the target of any investigation at the time and there was no evidence he had committed any crime under U.S. law, the letter noted.
It indicated Mountbatten-Windsor may have been asked to testify in either the Nygard or Epstein case if he shared "relevant information" during any interview.
The U.S. authorities had questions for their U.K. counterparts to ask Mountbatten-Windsor, which included dates he met either Epstein or Nygard, travelled to either man's properties, and women he met through either of them.
Nygard has faced a series of sexual assault allegations in different jurisdictions. In 2023, he was found guilty by a Toronto jury of four counts of sexual assault.
In one of the FBI "intake" records, there are allegations made in Aug. 2, 2020, from an unnamed person who claims they were groomed by two people including a Serbian Canadian "lingerie model actress" in 1996, when they were 19.
The complainant also says their artwork was stolen by the two people, who needed money to pay off a debt.
