Emails that entered the Epstein files reveal that Daniel Siad, a Swedish passport holder, directed young girls, some of whom were underage, from Norway and Sweden to Jeffrey Epstein over the years, and it appears that the Scandinavian countries have been systematically involved in the abuse network, while no legal action has been taken against Siad to date.

New analyses published in the foreign press regarding Jeffrey Epstein's global sexual exploitation network have revealed that Scandinavian countries have been systematically targeted over the years. Emails and witness statements that entered the files of the U.S. Department of Justice indicate that Northern Europe, particularly Norway and Sweden, has been turned into a systematic "sourcing area" for Epstein.

At the center of this network is Daniel Siad, an Algerian-born individual holding a Swedish passport. The documents show that Siad was tasked with identifying, directing, and organizing young girls on behalf of Epstein, and he describes himself as a "fisherman" in his emails.

"I'M A FISHERMAN, HE TELLS ME WHERE TO CAST THE NET"

Correspondence recorded since 2011 reveals that Siad mentioned in messages sent from Stockholm to Epstein that he had "met a lot of new girls" and shared photographs. In one of these messages, it is noted that a 20-year-old young woman was willing to go to Paris or New York.

By 2013, Siad stated in his correspondence that he had established a "fully operational scouting network" and that they were "finding suitable names again in Sweden as before." These statements suggest that the activity was not limited to those years but points to an older history.

MESSAGES REGARDING GIRLS AGED 16 AND 17 IN THE FILES

An email dated 2014 stands out as one of the most striking documents in the files. After a canceled trip by Epstein, Siad speaks of young girls whose fees had been paid and uses the expression:

"I really did a great job in Scandinavia... At least five of them are 16 and 17 years old, they will be ready next year."

In the same correspondence, it is noted that Siad mentioned a 15-year-old French girl, claiming that her family approved the trip under the pretext of "modeling." He then writes that he has taken action again to "find new names" at events held in Sweden.

NORWEGIAN GIRLS PRESENTED UNDER THE CODE 'ASSISTANT'

Emails from 2015 to 2017 reveal that Norwegian young women were introduced to Epstein as "personal assistants." The documents contain expressions focusing on physical characteristics; descriptions like "tall, very thin, cute-faced," and "blonde, blue-eyed" stand out.

Some correspondence indicates that young girls were brought to Epstein's home late at night, directed for "entertainment" purposes, and even carried food with them.

PREPARATION IN NEW YORK, SOURCING IN EUROPE

The documents reveal that apartments were kept ready for the arrival of young girls at Epstein's residences in New York, and the girls were transported almost like "cargo." Some names are also noted to have come from schools connected to the Swedish royal circles.

SIAD STILL FREE, HIS NAME IN THE FILES

Despite Daniel Siad's name being clearly mentioned in the documents related to Epstein's exploitation network in Europe, it is reported that he has not faced any charges to date. The fashion designer Jean-Luc Brunel, mentioned in the same files, had died in prison while awaiting trial.
