Rabat – The latest release of Epstein files includes email exchanges from 2011 discussing the pursuit of Libya’s frozen assets, through the alleged support of former British and Israeli intelligence officials.
According to the email exchange with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Libya had approximately $80 billion internationally frozen assets, with around $32.4 billion in the US.
“And it is estimated that the real number is somewhere between three to four times this number in sovereign, stolen and misappropriated assets,” the email from sender “Greg Brown” to Epstein states, adding that “if we can identify/recover 5 percent to 10 percent of these monies and receive 10 percent to 25 percent as compensation we are talking about billions of dollars.”
The timing here is crucial. The exchange in July 2011, came just months after a NATO-supported uprising against Libya’s then-President Muammar Gaddafi began.
The emails also pointed to the potential profits to come from Libya’s reconstruction and economic restabilization. “But the real carrot is if we can become their go-to guys because they plan to spend at least $100 billion next year to rebuild their country and jump start the economy,” the email said.
Additionally, the exchange points to links with British and Israeli intelligence groups, with the sender detailing: “I also have friends, formally with MI-6 and Mossad willing to help identify stolen assets and get them recovered.”
These plans illustrate the breadth of Epstein’s reach beyond sex trafficking. His connections include powerful individuals, from former to present royalty and high-up government officials.
In addition to these exchanges, the file release also uncovered discussions between Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein coordinating billions in loans between Libya and Dubai in 2010, during the final years of Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorship.
The former Duke of York shared confidential documents with Epstein regarding investment prospects in Afghanistan. The memo discussed capital investment opportunities in connection to a government scheme for reconstruction of the war-torn country.
While the full picture remains blurry, the emails with the former Duke largely discuss various financial endeavors in China, the Gulf, and Libya.
The emails together convey a premeditated effort by Epstein and associates to further exploit politically unstable countries, those being bombed and dismantled with significant influence of western forces.
Epstein’s meddling in North Africa and the Middle East additionally paints a broader picture of Western powers’ sheer colonial influence, military interventions, and resource exploitation particularly during periods of extreme instability.
