 Epstein’s links to Putin and Kremlin spies raise fears he was Russian agent: Paedophile financier suspected of being engaged in ‘world’s largest honey-trap operation’

When Jeffrey Epstein offered up a young woman as a dinner companion to Prince Andrew, he assured the British Royal that she was “Russian, beautiful and trustworthy”.
The convicted paedophile made the promise in an exchange of emails in 2010, telling the now disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor: “I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with.”
The email is among the three million documents in the Epstein files that the US department of justice released on Friday, along with 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.
They show that young Russians were among the women that Epstein offered up for sex to rich and powerful men from around the world.
But the huge cache of files has hinted at a darker connection with Russia: that Epstein could have been a longstanding agent working for Moscow.
Among the files are 1,056 documents that name Vladimir Putin and more than 9,000 that refer to Moscow.
They suggest that Epstein was granted audiences with the Russian president – even after the American financier was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution.
In 2010, Epstein sent an email to an associate offering to help them obtain a Russian visa, explaining: “I have a friend of Putin’s, should I ask him?”
Some have suggested the recruitment of Russian escorts shows Epstein may have been running a classic “kompromat” operation – luring influential business tycoons, media moguls, statesmen and politicians into sexual encounters with the women and recording the encounters for purposes of blackmail.
The concept of blackmail was uppermost in his mind in an email he wrote in 2015 to Sergei Belyakov, Russia’s then deputy minister of economic development and graduate of the FSB (Russian intelligence) academy.
Epstein warned him that “a Russian girl from Moscow … is attempting to blackmail a group of powerful biznessmen [sic] in New York. It is bad for business for everyone involved.”
