Emails showing unnamed sources discussing meetings between Epstein and the Russian president are prompting questions about whether the disgraced Wall Street figure may have trafficked girls from Russia in a state-backed effort to run the world’s "largest honeytrap" to snare the rich and the powerful.
Putin is named almost 1,000 times in the latest tranche of documents released Friday, while there are almost 10,000 references to Moscow.
People close to the Russian tyrant say he maintained his links to Epstein even after the financier’s 2008 conviction for engaging a child in prostitution.
Other newly released documents pointed to Epstein’s alleged strong influence in Russia, with the perv sending one in November 2010 asking an unnamed recipient if they needed a Russian visa.
In another email, dated Sept. 11, 2011, an anonymous messenger discusses plans for an "appointment with Putin" on Epstein’s next trip to Russia.
"Spoke with Igor. He said last time you were in Palm Beach, you told him you had an appointment with Putin on Sept 16 and that he could go ahead and book his ticket to Russia to arrive a few days before you," the newly-released email reads.
In May 2013, Epstein wrote that he wanted to help Putin and Russia "reinvent the financial system," in an email to Council of Europe secretary general Thorbjorn Jagland.
That same month, in an email to former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, Epstein claimed Putin had tried to set up a meeting with him, which he had turned down.
