"Lord Mandelson offered to help Jeffrey Epstein obtain a Russian visa, which the paedophile financier planned to use to meet young women in Moscow, documents released by the US government suggest. There is no indication that the politician knew why Epstein wanted the visa, and further emails suggest the trip was cancelled because it couldn't be obtained. Epstein was awaiting charges of trafficking minors from around the world for sex when he died in his prison cell in 2019."
"Lord Mandelson, a senior minister in the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown governments, resigned from the House of Lords this week after newly released files on Epstein revealed the extent of their relationship. It is not known what the primary reason was for Epstein's planned trip to Moscow in 2010, but emails suggested he was going to meet women while there."
"On 9 November 2010, Epstein emailed Jean-Luc Brunel, a close associate and modelling agent, to let him know he was thinking of travelling to Moscow the following week. Brunel, who killed himself in 2022 while being investigated for the trafficking of minors for sexual exploitation, appeared to reply and said: "I am getting my visa". Emails from the same day show that Epstein asked Mandelson, who had left government six months before, if he could help in acquiring a Russian visa."
Documents released by the US Department of Justice show Lord Mandelson offered to help Jeffrey Epstein obtain a Russian visa for a planned 2010 trip. Epstein emailed associates, including Jean-Luc Brunel, about travelling to Moscow and indicated intentions to meet women there. Brunel responded he was getting his visa. Epstein, who had already served a sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor, later awaited charges of trafficking minors when he died in a 2019 jail cell. There is no indication Mandelson knew why Epstein wanted the visa, and subsequent emails suggest the trip was cancelled because a visa could not be obtained. Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords after the files emerged.
