EPSTEIN MADAM HOLED UP IN PARIS!
Prince Andrew breathes easier as Ghislaine Maxwell nixes deal with feds
PRINCE ANDREW has breathed a sigh of relief after learning Ghislaine Maxwell, the former mistress and madam of his pervy party pal Jeffrey Epstein, is hiding out in France, where she can duck testifying in the U.S.
The fugitive socialite is staying at the posh pad of a rich businessman friend in Paris’ ritzy Eighth Arrondissement — and lawmen say it’s no surprise since she’s also a French citizen and cannot be extradited to America!
“Ghislaine is moving locations every month to keep private investigators and potential assassins off her tail,” reveals a source. "She wants to remain in Francfe to take advantage of extradition laws.”
Sources spotted Ghislaine, 58, wearing a poncho and strolling
by art galleries and ritzy eateries like Market,
Le Berkeley and Le Bristol along Avenue Matignon.
That’s great for Andrew because Ghislaine knows everything about Epstein’s crimes and where he is believed to
have hidden spy tapes used to blackmail powerful men like the prince, sources say.
GLOBE previously reported sources said Ghislaine had spilled her guts before a federal grand jury. But now prosecutors won’t be able to get her to the U.S. to rat out Andrew at an actual trial, according to insiders.
“Looks like the prince has dodged a real bullet,” says a royal source.
Ghislaine’s accused by Epstein’s former sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre of ordering her to bed Andrew, then 41, when she was 17 at Maxwell’s London town house in 2001.
Andrew has denied the charge and even knowing Virginia. Ghislaine also insists she never broke any laws and wasn’t aware of Epstein’s criminal activities.
But insiders have claimed the daughter of the late British publishing mogul Robert Maxwell recruited young girls as sexual toys for pedophile Epstein. She vanished after the feds began investigating the billionaire, who was found hanging in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting a new trial for sex trafficking. His death was ruled a suicide, but investigators say he was murdered — and Ghislaine fears she could be a target, too.
