New DEA document raises questions about Epstein and drug trafficking involvement

Jeffrey Epstein was the focus of a previously undisclosed five-year investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which examined him and 14 others for suspicious money transfers potentially tied to drug trafficking and prostitution in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York City. A heavily redacted 2015 memo reveals about $50 million in questionable transactions and links to various businesses associated with Epstein. The investigation remained active as of 2015, and another case led to Epstein’s arrest in 2019 on sex trafficking charges.
