FBI Probed Andrew Using Maxwell Emails Cited in 2020 Filing

Newly disclosed FBI filings add pressure on U.K. police seeking full U.S. records in their parallel review.

Overview

  • Sunday's reports drew on a 2020 FBI court filing that used emails between Ghislaine Maxwell and an alias called 'Individual-5' to justify searching Epstein’s seized devices.
  • One message read, "Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?" which an FBI agent wrote they believed was a request for young females to engage in sex acts.
  • Other emails included "As for girls well I leave that entirely to you" and a reference to "2 legged sight seeing," language investigators said could be coded.
  • Reporters say 'Individual-5' and a nickname 'Invisible Man' in the correspondence are understood to refer to Andrew, with some messages aligning with his 2002 Peru royal tour, though no specific offences there are alleged in the documents.
  • Andrew denies wrongdoing, has not been charged, has declined U.S. interview requests, and U.K. police are seeking unredacted U.S. files as they review related allegations.
