Original investigations into the Epstein network. Every claim cites specific documents from our database of court filings, depositions, and government records.
EFTA documents and investigative reports reveal that Israeli military and intelligence personnel maintained a sustained physical presence in Jeffrey Epstein's New York properties. Rafi Shlomo of the Israeli UN Mission controlled building access, while IDF intelligence officer Yoni Koren stayed at the townhouse on multiple occasions.
Leaked documents and EFTA releases show Jeffrey Epstein brokered secret merger discussions between Julius Baer CEO Boris Collardi and Ariane de Rothschild of Edmond de Rothschild Bank. A $25 million contract for "risk analysis and algorithms" connected the same entities to Epstein's Southern Trust Company, which also funded the Israeli surveillance startup Carbyne.
Documents trace Svetlana "Lana" Pozhidaeva from MGIMO, the Moscow university that trains Russian diplomats and intelligence operatives, through Jean-Luc Brunel's modeling agency and into Jeffrey Epstein's operation. Sergei Belyakov, a graduate of the FSB Academy, personally drafted her visa letter.
Emails in the EFTA releases confirm Dzhabrailov arranged a 2001 Moscow visit for Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell called him her "soulmate." He was found dead on March 2, 2026, weeks after his name surfaced in the released files.
Deutsche Bank's RiskConnect compliance system tagged Jeffrey Epstein with the code 'ORG: Organized Crime, Criminal Association, Racketeering' in 2008. The bank onboarded him as a client in 2013 and processed his transactions until 2018. The EFTA documents reveal the shell companies, the compliance overrides, and the $50 million in suspicious activity reports that no one acted on.
EFTA documents trace a direct line from the FSB Academy in Moscow to Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. At one end: Sergei Belyakov, an FSB-trained intelligence operative who became Epstein's fixer for Russian state access. At the other: Charles McGonigal, the FBI's top counterintelligence official in New York, convicted of secretly working for the same Russian oligarch Epstein was advising.
Two FBI classified source reports describe Epstein as belonging to 'both U.S. and allied intelligence services' and running a sexual compromise operation with recordings. The EFTA documents connect Les Wexner's Mega Group, Robert Maxwell's PROMIS software sales, and Ehud Barak's 4,863 communications with Epstein into an intelligence architecture that the FBI documented but never acted on.
Epstein's three-word reply about one of Britain's richest men - 'Cyprus? BVI accounts' - opens a trail connecting Russian oligarchs, Palm Beach real estate deals, yacht parties in Cannes, and Oxford dinners. The EFTA documents map a billionaire pipeline spanning Blavatnik, Rybolovlev, Abramovich, and Marc Rich.
A comprehensive analysis of 2 million documents reveals Epstein's Eastern European recruitment infrastructure: flights to Prague with Nadia Marcinkova aboard, Ukrainian modeling agencies forwarding contracts to his associates, a Slovak diplomat writing about 'beautiful girls,' and Czech police now investigating the connections.
The phrases 'pizza,' 'grape soda,' and 'Chinese cookie' went viral in February 2026 as supposed trafficking code words. A full-context analysis of the source documents reveals they are literal food references between Epstein and his urologist friend. The real coded language is hiding in plain sight in the calendar alerts.
Documents in the Epstein files trace a financial pipeline from the COUQ Foundation to Israeli organizations including FIDF and JNF, while emails reveal Epstein's direct investment in Ehud Barak's surveillance company alongside pitches to Qatari royalty.
Document EFTA00090314 is an FBI FD-1023 Confidential Human Source reporting document from the Los Angeles field office, dated October 19, 2020. It describes Epstein as a 'co-opted Mossad Agent' who was 'trained as a spy' under former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
