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 network involving underage girls in the U.S., included the names of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Denmark's King Frederik, and Sweden's Princess Sofia.
New documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, who is being prosecuted for sexual abuse crimes in the U.S., drew attention to the names of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Denmark's King Frederik, and Sweden's Princess Sofia. Princess Mette-Marit expressed regret over her communication with Epstein.
NAMES FROM NORWAY, DENMARK, AND SWEDEN ROYALTY ARE ALSO ON THE LIST
Following the announcement by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that they have shared more than 3 million new files related to the investigation of Epstein with the public, the royal names from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden in the documents caught attention.
Norwegian broadcaster NRK emphasized that Princess Mette-Marit’s name appeared hundreds of times in the new documents, reporting that in an email correspondence from 2011, the princess shared that she had researched Epstein's name on the internet.
"I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY"
Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit stated in an interview with Norwegian media that she takes responsibility for Epstein's actions, saying, "I take responsibility for not researching Epstein's past better and for not understanding what kind of person he was quickly enough. I feel deep sorrow for this."
Expressing that she made wrong decisions regarding Epstein, the princess said, "I would like to state that I regret having communicated with Epstein in any way. This situation is extremely embarrassing."
In her 2019 statement, Crown Princess Mette-Marit also expressed regret over her meeting with Epstein, claiming that she cut off communication in 2013, although it later emerged that the princess met with Epstein in Florida in 2014.
DANISH KING AND SWEDISH PRINCESS'S NAMES ARE ALSO MENTIONED
A royal statement was made regarding Denmark's King Frederik, whose name was mentioned twice in the newly released documents related to the Epstein case. The royal family stated in a press release that King Frederik has never met Epstein.
In the newly released documents, it was claimed that during King Frederik's time as a prince, he met with a businessman connected to Epstein's business dealings and attended a private dinner once. Another name mentioned in the documents was Sweden's Princess Sofia.
Swedish media reported that Princess Sofia attended a film screening in New York in 2012 as a special guest of Epstein. The Swedish Royal Palace had previously stated that Princess Sofia met with Epstein several times in 2005 but had no contact with him for the past 20 years.
THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of girls under the age of 18, including the youngest being 14, and establishing a prostitution network, was found dead in his cell at the New York Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.
The Epstein case files revealed that 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 were included.
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 it was concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crimes of individuals including government officials, celebrities, and businessmen, actually committed suicide in his cell.
