Newly released documents regarding billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while awaiting trial for charges of sexual exploitation and establishing a prostitution ring involving underage girls in the U.S., also mention Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The document dated July 9, 2017, highlights the statement, "Prime Minister Modi of India danced and sang in Israel for the benefit of the U.S. President," while the Indian government did not take long to respond to these allegations.
After U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that they had shared more than 3 million new documents related to the investigation into Epstein with the public, the name of Indian Prime Minister Modi drew attention in the documents.
"DANCED AND SUNG IN ISRAEL"
In the document dated July 9, 2017, which mentioned Modi's name, it was stated, "Indian Prime Minister Modi danced and sang in Israel for the benefit of the U.S. President. They had met a few weeks earlier. It worked."
INDIA'S RESPONSE WAS PROMPT
On the other hand, according to a report by NDTV, India reacted by stating that the remarks regarding Modi's official visit to Israel in July 2017 were "merely the worthless thoughts of a convicted criminal."
IT WAS RECORDED AS THE FIRST VISIT
Modi's visit to Israel in July 2017 was recorded as the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Israel in 1992.
THE EPSTEIN CASE
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of girls under the age of 18, including the youngest being 14, and creating a prostitution network, was found dead in his cell at the New York Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.
The disclosed Epstein case files included famous names such as U.S. President Donald Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The FBI also stated that as a result of its investigation with the U.S. Department of Justice, there was no evidence of a "client list" consisting of famous names, and concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crime involving government officials, celebrities, and business people, actually committed suicide in his cell.
