U.S. Department of Justice Documents Reveal Epstein's Attempt to Control Congo's Oil Funds
Recent disclosures from the U.S. Department of Justice have unveiled that financier Jeffrey Epstein was involved in discussions to establish a private bank for managing the Republic of Congo's oil funds. The documents, part of the ongoing release of the Epstein files, indicate that Peter Mandelson, a former UK government minister, sought Epstein's assistance in this venture. The plan, which never materialized beyond initial discussions, involved seeking investors from Qatar or Singapore. Mandelson, who is currently under investigation by UK police for misconduct in public office, is expected to resign from the House of Lords. The Epstein files, which include court records and emails, have been a source of public scandal, revealing Epstein's extensive network and alleged criminal activities.
