Woody Allen, David Blaine, Tommy Mottola, are some celebrities who have been mentioned in the controversial case of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a financier accused of sex trafficking, of whom they say there is a list full of names of personalities associated with him, but what are they so involved?
Since Jeffrey Epstein faced charges of sex trafficking in 2006, the case has been mentioned several times on social networks due to its closeness to the circles of American politics and entertainment.
In 2019, while awaiting trial, Jeffrey Epstein took his life inside a federal prison in New York, United States.
What is Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘list’?
At the end of 2023, through social networks like X, some users speculated the possible arrival of ‘the Jeffrey Epstein list’, a document that will contain names of celebrities related to the deceased financier; However, the reality is completely different.
The notion of an alleged list with the names of several people involved arose in December 2023, after US authorities revealed the publication of documents related to a lawsuit made by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s main accusers, in 2015.
Those files, which came out on January 3, will mention people whose names are not associated with any crime and have not been mentioned in previous judicial proceedings.
The reason why a list with names of celebrities was commented on in networks is unknown.
