‘Madam’ was a ‘foreign spy’

A NEW report has asserted that dead sex criminal Jeffery Epstein and his alleged “madam’’ Ghislaine Maxwell were foreign intelligence assets, and that she is hiding in a safe house in Israel.

“Ghislaine is protected. She and Jeffrey were assets of sorts for multiple foreign governments. They would trade information about the powerful people caught in his net – caught at Epstein’s house,” a source said.

Maxwell, 58, has been accused in lawsuits of procuring underage girls for Epstein to sexually traffick among his wealthy and powerful friends, and is reportedly the subject of an ongoing FBI probe. She has always denied any wrongdoing. After Epstein’s re-arrest last year and death behind bars in August, Maxwell has remained out of sight and her whereabouts unknown.

“She is sometimes in the UK, but most often in other countries, such as Israel, where her powerful contacts have provided her with safe houses and protection,” the source said. Maxwell is being “protected because of the information she has on the world’s most powerful people”.

Rumours have long circulated that Epstein secretly took videos of his powerful friends having sex with underage girls, either for financial blackmail or as leverage for a foreign intelligence service. So far, however, the FBI has not publicly confirmed whether any such blackmail material was recovered in raids on his properties.

Since Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges in July, Maxwell has remained out of sight. Her father, Robert Maxwell, was a Czech-born British media mogul whose fraud in raiding the Mirror Group pension fund was discovered after his death.
