“ PDo you think you are the devil himself? » Jeffrey Epstein is both surprised and embarrassed by the question of his interlocutor, whose identity is not revealed in this exchange which is one of the approximately three million documents published Friday by the American justice system. Moreover, the billionaire responds next: “No, but I have a flattering mirror. – This is a serious question. Do you think you are the devil himself? You have all the attributes, you are very intelligent…” Jeffrey Epstein ends up confessing: “No, I’m afraid of the devil. » By delving into the documents which reveal the dark side of the global elite and show how many of its members were in cahoots with the billionaire pedophile, you never stop falling out of your chair.
The planet’s elite maintained close ties with a sex criminal whose misdeeds were known and documented. Because Jeffrey Epstein was accused for the first time in 1996 of prostitution of minors. His prison sentence and his registration on the sex offender file date from 2008. Some, like Jack Lang in our case, attended him until 2019. “I must be naive”declared the former Minister of Culture, indicating that he had never been aware of the accusations of pedocriminality of the individual, knowing him only as “a man passionate about art and charming”. In his emails, Epstein returned the compliment by presenting him as “a great friend” And “a French icon”. That the former minister signed a petition in 1977, in the newspaper Releasewho called for the revision of certain texts governing relations between adults and children therefore has no connection with his friendship for Epstein. Jack Lang has repeated many times on this subject that this petition was “bullshit”.
In 2013, however, in an email present in the documents and addressed to Fabrice Parsy, close advisor to Jack Lang, the billionaire comments on a text written by the minister, entitled “The Education of a young prince for all our children”. “The little prince must become aware of his body and strive to acquire physical strength and beauty”writes Lang. Epstein questions: “Should the child be introduced to religion? New sexualities? Test it? At what frequencies? » Jack Lang’s name appears 685 times in Epstein’s archives. “I don’t regret having known the first Jeffrey Epstein”assures him, while ruling out resigning from the presidency of the Arab World Institute. “I feel white as snow”he continues on RTL.
His explanations were not enough to convince. Worse, his defense even offended his socialist friends. “How could this man, so courteous, so charming, so generous, have been able to perpetuate such abominations? » ventured Jack Lang, interviewed on France 2, on February 4. “Jeffrey Epstein was not a charming man, he was a child molester”decides Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, quick to distance himself from this former icon of the Mitterrandian left. He urges him to give up the presidency of the Arab World Institute. Summoned this Sunday by Jean-Noël Barrot, Jack Lang ended up proposing to resign from the IMA. “The first elements to emerge from these files are unprecedented and extremely serious”said the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Jean-Noel Barrot “reserves all options” on the future of the man who was until now an untouchable of the Republic. As for the national financial prosecutor’s office, it opened a preliminary investigation to “ laundering of aggravated tax fraud » against him and his daughter Caroline.
Caroline Lang’s name appears 2000 times
For the latter, the involvement with Epstein is heavier. His name appears 2,000 times in the documents. She defends herself to journalist Laurence Haïm: “I met Epstein in 2012 through Woody and Soon-Yi Allen, and we would visit exhibitions together. It was Fabrice Arfi, from Mediapart, on Sunday, who showed me that I was in his will. I totally ignored it! I never received anything about this. » Signed two days before his death, Jeffrey Epstein’s financial will promised Caroline Lang the sum of 5 million euros. Unlike her father, she admits to having knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia affairs. The latter would have told her that he had paid his debt to the company and she would have believed him. Caroline Lang still resigned from her new position at the head of the Independent Production Union, which she had held since January 7. Because in addition to appearing in Epstein’s will, she had created with him, in 2016, an offshore company based in the American Virgin Islands. Prytanee LLC was involved in the purchase of works of art. His accounts were, according to Mediapart, credited with 1.4 million dollars…
The French aspect of the Epstein affair unfortunately does not stop at Jack Lang. It is, it seems, much more extensive than it appears, even if no official investigation concerning the Epstein affair has been opened in our country. When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 in New York, it was after leaving a flight arriving from Paris. For many years he has owned a beautiful apartment on Avenue Foch there, which he acquired with the strategic aim of receiving Middle Eastern or Russian businessmen for his business. To manage it, the billionaire can count on his faithful Valdson, a Brazilian naturalized French who has served as his butler for more than eighteen years. Valdson would be the last to accompany Epstein to Le Bourget before his arrest in New York and his death in prison a month later. Epstein also owns a villa in Palm Beach, a mansion in Manhattan, a private jet (the aptly named Lolita Express) and the famous island in the Caribbean, all being the reward for a dizzying career in finance in New York, thanks to which he built a solid network with global ramifications. Among all his places of residence, Jeffrey Epstein has a weakness for Paris. The mother of his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, promoter of the network of young girls, is French. The couple loved strolling the streets of the capital. But that’s not all.
British monarchy
In France, Jeffrey Epstein had another tout in the person of the former French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Accused by several former top models, Jean-Luc Brunel was indicted in June 2021 for rape of a minor over 15 years old. He had already been indicted and placed in pre-trial detention in December 2020, again for rape of a minor over 15 years old and sexual harassment of two other women. In the United States, in the Epstein affair, Jean-Luc Brunel will be accused by at least two women of having played the role of tout, bringing “young girls” who came from modest backgrounds, offering them the hope of working in modeling. Whether these same young girls were minors or not, it didn’t matter to them. Birds of a feather flock together. Jeffrey Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel used the same recruitment methods. Thus, one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, says she remembers having met three 12-year-old girls whom Jeffrey Epstein would have flown in for his birthday, through Jean-Luc Brunel. Jean-Luc Brunel will end up committing suicide in his cell at La Santé prison. Like Epstein…
Jeffrey Epstein received British personalities in Paris
Let’s return to the apartment on Avenue Foch. If, in fact, Jeffrey Epstein received businessmen there, he sometimes lent his Parisian home for exchanges of a completely different nature, by attracting British personalities to his home, for example. Asked about the presence of girls in the apartment, the butler is surprised by the question: “The boss has always had women with him!” » Thus, among the documents made public by the American justice system, we discover Lord Mandelson, in underwear and a t-shirt, with an iPad in his hand which he shows to a young girl in a bathrobe in the living room of Epstein’s Parisian apartment. Mandelson served between January and June 2025 as British Ambassador to Washington. Immediately after the revelations, he announced that he was leaving his seat in the House of Lords. And this, not only because of the unfortunate photo. Because, as is often the case with Epstein, business and pleasure are not far apart. Thus, while Peter Mandelson was Minister of Commerce in Gordon Brown’s government, he allegedly leaked emails addressed to the Prime Minister to Epstein.
The Financial Times claims that at another time, he suggested to Jeffrey Epstein that he ask the head of JP Morgan to “threaten slightly” the British Minister of Finance, all in return for generous remuneration. If we think back to Prince Andrew, whom the same documents show in unequivocal positions in Epstein’s New York apartment, we say to ourselves that the pedophile billionaire definitely had a soft spot for the British monarchy.
Contacts in the Middle East
However, nothing says that Jeffrey Epstein used such methods on French politicians. Which does not prevent him from having felt a real passion for the political-financial elites of our country. His contacts in the Middle East, established in the cozy living room of his Parisian apartment, will be useful to him. In particular an Emirati businessman, Sultan Ahmed ben Sulayem, referred to as “Sultan” in the emails, thanks to whom he came into contact with Bruno Le Maire, then Minister of the Economy. The meeting finally took place in New York, in Epstein’s Manhattan apartment, through Olivier Colom, a former advisor to Nicolas Sarkozy. It is organized as part of a meeting between businessmen. Bruno Le Maire does not know who owns the apartment he went to. Suspicious, he leaves the place when he sees Epstein among the guests. As to the content of the comments made in the apartment, nothing has filtered out to date.
In some emails, Epstein claims he advises Macron
The Macron couple also seems to be the object of all the billionaire’s attention. Emmanuel Macron is referenced in several emails, before and after his election in 2017. As with Bruno Le Maire, it is the Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed ben Sulayem who first describes a lunch at the Élysée Palace. He talks about discussions with Emmanuel Macron, who was at that time Minister of the Economy, “about business opportunities in France”. Later, in other emails, Epstein claims he is advising Macron. On August 30, 2018, he wrote that the French president requested him on “almost everything, including institutions, public policy and science”. He writes that Macron “wants to lead Europe, even the world”. However, there is no indication that Epstein ever advised Macron.
From this display of world leaders appearing in Epstein’s schemes for deals aimed at power or enrichment without necessarily visiting the cursed island or indulging in pedophile passions, we can make the observation that, among the elites, some have a propensity to compromise themselves. As such, the Epstein case is not just a matter of morals. It is also, unfortunately, the reflection of those who govern us.
