Two models from Nizhny Novgorod have appeared in the «Epstein files». In total, our city is mentioned in the database dozens of times. This is linked to the booking of tickets for the 2018 World Cup by the American elite.

As reported by the Telegram channel Ni Mash, one of the models was named Elena. She met the scandalous financier through a mutual acquaintance. The woman from Nizhny Novgorod studied to be a translator and speaks English well. However, the girl herself denies any connection with the businessman.

The second model confirmed that she met Epstein in 2009 through friends. At that time, she was studying in the U.S. under a special program. The girl had just broken up with her boyfriend and dreamed of becoming a model.

When fate brought her acquaintance with the entrepreneur, she periodically flew to Epstein in Florida, receiving money from him. Moreover, the financier actively took interest in the friends of the Nizhny Novgorod woman. The man often asked for their photos and invited the girls to the States.

The communication between the Nizhny Novgorod woman and Epstein ceased when she learned about his criminal cases.

Jeffrey Epstein is an American financier, arrested in 2019 on federal charges of trafficking minors for sexual exploitation. In 2008, he was already caught red-handed, pleaded guilty to less serious charges, and received a relatively lenient sentence, for which the U.S. public harshly criticized the country«s prosecutors.

In January 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice declassified documents from civil lawsuits by victims. This data is what was called the «Epstein files», which contain mentions of over 150 individuals — from victims and accused to employees and famous guests. Details of the high-profile case can be found in the material by Fontanka.
