Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson's partner, released emails show

Emails reveal Jeffrey Epstein wired £10,000 to Peter Mandelson’s husband in 2009 for osteopathy course fees amid ongoing scrutiny of their association.

  • On Friday, the US Department of Justice posted more than three million pages, revealing Jeffrey Epstein wired 180,000 in 2009 to Reinaldo Avila da Silva, Lord Mandelson's partner.
  • Following pressure from survivor groups and a law passed last year, the Justice Department released over three million documents, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stating 500 lawyers vetted the records.
  • Epstein's correspondence reveals payment instructions to his accountant, including forwarding da Silva's 13k request, recurring 2k monthly payments later adjusted to 4000 dollars, and fee discussions for da Silva's osteopathy course with Lord Peter Mandelson.
  • Mandelson has issued a public apology, saying `I was wrong to believe Epstein following his conviction and to continue my association with him afterwards`, after his dismissal as UK ambassador last September over revelations about his friendship with Epstein.
  • The emails, dating to 2009, also show social arrangements between Lord Peter Mandelson, former business secretary, and Jeffrey Epstein while Mandelson was in office until May 2010, marrying Reinaldo Avila da Silva in 2023 after three decades together.
