For his ex-girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein was “murdered”

Last June, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for “sexual trafficking of minors”. The US justice system estimated that she had helped her partner, financier Jeffrey Epstein, lure young underage girls to her property to have sex with them.

It is also from the Brooklyn prison where she is being held that the 61-year-old detainee gave a remote interview to the British program TalkTV. She says there her conviction that the death of Jeffrey Epstein, found dead in her cell on the morning of August 10, 2019 while awaiting her trial, is not a suicide but a murder.

“I was shocked”

“I think he was murdered,” says Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of wealthy British press chief Robert Maxwell and also a figure in New York social life. She still talks to the British media about his reaction when she found out about Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

“I was shocked. I thought, ‘How did this happen?'”

Although she did not elaborate on the reason for a possible murder, she still stated: “I am sure that she hoped to reach an amicable agreement.” According to the autopsy report, Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide by hanging. But this conclusion has been questioned, particularly by the New York Timesfor the discovery of fractures in the neck of the deceased.

“I wish I had never met him”

In the rest of the interview, Ghislaine Maxwell laments the course her life has taken and the harmful effects her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein had on her and those around her.

“I wish I had never met him. Now that I think back, I tell myself I would have done better to stay in England.”

“Clearly (…) the fact that I work with him and spend time with him and know him has destroyed my life and hurt so many people that I love and love,” he also said. “I tried to live, start a new job, get ahead, it was around 1998-1999. I would have liked to be more successful in this new beginning. I had become a banker. I wouldn’t have had to introduce people to my friends or to him,” he said.

Going back to her ex-partner’s personality, she says: “I had no idea it was so horrible. I mean, well, when I think back today, I was obviously blind.” She finally explains this “blindness” to Jeffrey Epstein’s success: “He had a lot of friends at the time, every friend imaginable.”
