The US Justice Department’s decision not to release its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last year was based on a claim that the documents showed no incriminating client list. However, after Congress ordered the release of additional millions of documents, authorities abroad discovered evidence of other possible crimes. This led to high-profile arrests and investigations in countries including the UK, Norway, and France. Former Prince Andrew has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of misconduct in public office, while Peter Mandelson is under investigation. In Norway, Thorbjørn Jagland faces corruption charges, and Jeffrey Epstein’s case has sparked new investigations in France.
