If you thought the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein died with him in prison, you would be sadly mistaken.
Reports have confirmed that the FBI is currently investigating Ghislaine Maxwell, who served as Epstein’s recruiter of underage girls for his sexual pleasure.
Maxwell’s whereabouts have been a great mystery, and reports of her living in Paris, and with a tech millionaire have both been debunked.
Maxwell is the daughter of now-deceased publisher Robert Maxwell, who died under mysterious circumstances when he fell off his yacht.
It was later learned that he had looted the pension funds at some of his businesses.
He instilled the lust for money and influence in his daughter, who sought to attain both in her relationship with Epstein.
Prosecutors have made it clear that they have not closed the book on the sordid Epstein affair, and Maxwell was a main cog in his child sex trafficking scheme.
She escaped prosecution after Epstein’s first arrest, but seems destined to stand the brunt of investigations this time around.
“If I were drafting an indictment against her, it would be the same conspiracy to traffic in underage minors,” said David S. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice in Miami. “That’s what it is. That’s what the conspiracy would be.”
Maxwell is an elusive character whose father, publisher Robert Maxwell, died in 1991 after falling off his yacht near the Canary Islands. It turned out that he had illegally looted pension funds from his businesses, according to news accounts at the time.
Eventually, Maxwell landed in Epstein’s world in the wealthy enclave of Palm Beach and bought a home in Manhattan, where Epstein also had an opulent mansion worth as much as $77 million. According to lawsuits filed by Epstein accusers, she became a recruiter of young girls for Epstein, as well as his household manager and social circuit organizer.
