What is the news?
A trove of documents released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) contain detailed details of the correspondence between Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani and sex crime convict Jeffrey Epstein. The correspondence, dating from February 2017 to May 2019, reveals discussions on trade financing, defense deals, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign trips and personal matters. These conversations took place months before Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July 2019.
How did Anil seek help for financing at the corporate level?
According to the documents, Anil had sought Epstein’s help in arranging corporate financing. In an iMessage on April 20, 2019, he wrote to Epstein, ‘Will talk. Consensus has been reached. How can you help arrange financing at the corporate level?’ Epstein also invited Ambani to dinner at his home with finance experts, although he acknowledged there might be concerns about his reputation.
Defense deals and personal matters were also discussed
Defense deals and personal matters were also discussed in the correspondence. Ambani expressed interest in defense cooperation with the US, to which Epstein wrote, ‘You are absolutely right. Defense etc.’ He also discussed Prime Minister Modi’s foreign visits. Shortly after Dubai Ports World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem emailed Ambani’s contact details to Epstein on February 22, 2017, Ambani went to dinner at Epstein’s residence in Paris.
Investigation will begin again into suspected crimes involving French citizens in Paris
The release of these documents has caused a global stir and some countries have launched investigations against their citizens named in the Epstein files. Paris has formed a special team to analyze these files and launch an investigation into suspected crimes involving French citizens. It also includes re-examining cases involving Jean-Luc Brunel, a former modeling agency executive linked to Epstein.
