A newly disclosed email from Jeffrey Epstein’s files lays out a meticulous plan by one of his associates to secure vast sums from Libya’s frozen government assets. The 2011 correspondence details a proposal to use former operatives from British MI6 and Israel’s Mossad to locate and reclaim misappropriated Libyan funds.
Among documents made public by the U.S. Department of Justice are discussions about methods to access the frozen Libyan holdings, possibly with the aid of ex-intelligence agents. The letter, addressed to the deceased financier who was convicted of sex offenses, describes the financial prospects created by Libya’s political turmoil after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
The email claims that some $32 billion had been frozen globally, with a substantial sum located in the US. The sender of the document posits that the assets might be worth three to four times that amount, and that retrieving even a fraction could generate profits in the billions of dollars.
Of particular note is the purported role of former intelligence officers. The email specifies that a few former agents of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Israel’s Mossad had shown interest in helping to identify and recover the assets. The plan also involved engaging international law firms on a contingency-fee arrangement, highlighting the ambitious and intricate nature of the proposed endeavor.
