FBI says Ghislaine Maxwell wrapped phone in tin foil

NEW YORK, 14 July. - (ANA) - Ghislaine Maxwell ex-girl friend of Epstein is “extremely skilled at living in hiding” and could “flee abroad and live comfortably for the rest of her life” if granted bail by the courts, according to prosecutors in the US. FBI officers discovered that the British socialite and friend of Jeffrey Epstein had wrapped her mobile phone in tin foil in a “seemingly misguided effort to evade detection” before her arrest.

Ghislaine Maxwell kept a “secret stash” of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex tapes and plans to use the recordings as an “insurance policy to save herself”, a former friend has claimed.

Officials who raided Epstein’s Manhattan home following his arrest on sex trafficking charges in July last year found “thousands of graphic photos”, including images of underage girls, says the Daily Mail.

But an unnamed ex-confidant of Maxwell told the newspaper that the British socialite also “has copies of everything Epstein”.

“Ghislaine has always been as cunning as they come,” said the source. “She wasn’t going to be with Epstein all those years and not have some insurance.

“The secret stash of sex tapes I believe Ghislaine has squirrelled away could end up being her get out of jail card if the authorities are willing to trade.”

Maxwell was arrested in New Hampshire last week and charged with six federal crimes, including enticement of minors, sex trafficking and perjury.

If she were to use any hidden sex tapes in a bid to bargain with prosecutors, “they could implicate some twisted movers and shakers”, the former friend reportedly claimed.

Speculation has been rife about the powerful individuals within Epstein’s circle, who included President Donald Trump, former president Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and former Victoria’s Secret owner Leslie Wexner, according to The Guardian.  - (ANA) -
