Rostov surfaces in Epstein files over sexual content, FIFA video

The U.S. Department of Justice at the end of January released more than three million pages of documents related to the case of American financier Jeffrey Epstein. These files contain repeated mentions of Russian cities, including Rostov.

Rostov-on-Don is mentioned in the documents more than a hundred times, often in connection with air travel. But there are also interesting correspondences.

Presumably, Epstein himself mailed a YouTube link to a certain person, whose name the U.S. Department of Justice redacted. That person replied with another link to the same YouTube, signing: «This is also Rostov during FIFA.»

Both videos have been deleted — the first link from Epstein states that the video is no longer available, and the second, from his interlocutor, indicates that the video was removed «for violating YouTube»s rules regarding nudity and content of a sexual nature.«
