[REGNUM] In the last days of April, those who are commonly called conspiracy theorists once again had a reason to worry.
On the 25th, 41-year-old Virginia Giuffre was found dead - the one who is commonly called the first and key witness in the case of financier Jeffrey Epstein and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who provided sex services to the powerful.
It was Virginia who first threw off the veil of anonymity and directly accused both Epstein and several celebrities - including Britain's Prince Andrew - of sexually exploiting minors and described in detail what had happened to her.
In essence, Giuffre has condemned herself in advance to a bloody legal battle with her former offenders, the American media, and Western justice.
This is quite a serious step that requires courage, a strong character and fighting endurance. And it is even stranger that Virginia's own family calls her death a suicide, and law enforcement officials do not see any criminal motive in the incident.
ORGANIZERS AND CLIENTS
At the age of seven, Giuffre was molested by a close friend of her parents, later the girl was placed in foster families, she ran away from home, at 14 she lived on the streets, was repeatedly subjected to physical violence, and at one point even spent six months with an elderly sex trafficker.
And against the backdrop of such a life, she, working at a resort in Mar-a-Lago, met people who offered her to earn two hundred dollars a day from just one client instead of nine dollars a day. At first, just doing massages, and then not only massages.
According to Giuffre herself, one can conclude that she understood from the very beginning what the matchmakers wanted from her. She just decided that she could not refuse because of her life and financial situation.
The story unfolded in a way that was quite predictable for this “industry.” Ghislaine Maxwell sought out the right girls, persuaded them to cooperate, and, together with Epstein, taught them “how to properly handle wealthy clients.”
Epstein himself "tried out" girls together with his friends, and then rented them out to influential people for a while. One of Giuffre's "clients" was the younger brother of the current British king, Prince Andrew.
"They passed me around like a fruit platter," Giuffre said, describing her "work" for Epstein and Maxwell.
Several years later, Virginia, having lost most of her illusions, entered a massage school in Thailand, where she met her future husband and subsequently gave birth to three children.
In 2009, Giuffre filed her first lawsuit, against Maxwell, accusing the socialite of engaging in sex trafficking. Giuffre kept her name anonymous, appearing in the documents as " Jane Doe 102."
The lawsuit prompted several similar lawsuits from other victims — all of whom were satisfied with undisclosed compensation awards. In January 2022, it was reported that Giuffre had received about $500,000 in compensation.
However, after the birth of her daughter in 2010, Virginia decided that she could no longer remain anonymous.
In 2011, she gave her first scandalous interview, to which she attached a photograph of herself standing hugging Prince Andrew at Maxwell's house in Belgravia.
In 2014, Giuffre founded a nonprofit organization that brings together survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse.
In 2021, she filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew. Giuffre denied the claims, but the following year the parties reached an out-of-court settlement that included a significant donation from the royal to a nonprofit headed by Giuffre.
Virginia's allegations led to Prince Andrew being suspended from his royal duties and charities, and reportedly being banished from Buckingham Palace.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF DEATH
In early April this year, Virginia Giuffre came forward with a statement that she had been in a car accident that left her with kidney failure, and doctors had "given her four days to live" and transferred her to a special urology hospital. Giuffre also posted a photo of herself with a bruised face.
A little later, authorities in Australia, where the car crash occurred, reported that they had no reports of casualties as a result of the incident.
Police, however, shared information that a "minor" collision between a car and a school bus occurred on March 24. The car was damaged, Virginia herself is in hospital, her life is not in danger.
The Giuffre family did not provide details, saying only that the mother of the family published the data thinking she was doing it for her personal page on a social network.
Then the media featured mutually exclusive stories: Virginia got worse, then everything was fine, then her condition was again stable and serious. Along the way, it turned out that the woman had previously accused her husband of domestic violence and before her death had fought for custody of the children.
On April 25, the world media was abuzz with news that Giuffre had been found dead. Given the notoriety of the deceased, the department specializing in the investigation of particularly serious crimes was immediately brought into the case.
However, investigators did not have any suspicions about Virginia's death in the first hours after examining the body. Her father expressed doubts that his daughter had committed suicide, and her lawyer publicly made it clear that "not everything is so clear-cut in the case."
However, a little later, Virginia Giuffre's family acknowledged the non-violence of her death, and also expressed regret that someone who "was a fighter all her life" still could not bear the burden of violence inflicted on her.
The lawyer, who until recently doubted that her client had committed suicide, began giving interviews in the style of “everyone misunderstood me,” and she says she doesn’t see anything suspicious in what happened, doesn’t criticize the police, doesn’t interfere in the personal affairs of the Giuffre family, and doesn’t advise others to do so.
DIARIES OF THE DECEASED
However, the brand that Virginia Giuffre's name has become will live on. Her brother and sister-in-law have announced their desire to continue the deceased's work and plan to advocate for the victims of Epstein and Maxwell.
They did this by “accidentally leafing through” the deceased’s diaries and finding there many “words of support for the victims.”
Apparently, one should not be surprised if the recordings also contain circumstances of her “interaction” with Epstein and Co. that were not voiced by the deceased herself.
A SERIES OF SUICIDES
The history of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes has long attracted attention due to the mysterious suicides of key participants in the criminal process.
Epstein himself - according to the official version - committed suicide while in prison, just at the moment of questioning about the most interesting thing about his work - the list of clients.
It is worth recognizing that people like Epstein die “just like that” extremely rarely, and rumors about “difficult deaths in this case” have some basis.
In May 2023, Caroline Andriano, who also came forward with allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein, who raped her when she was 14, died of a drug overdose.
Even earlier, in 2017, another victim of Epstein, Lee Sky Patrick, also died from drug use.
In both cases, the deaths were ruled the result of accidental drug overdoses, which both girls were heavily addicted to "trying to forget the stress of the violence they had experienced."
American criminologists and psychologists do not see anything suspicious in such situations, since crimes against sexual inviolability can seriously damage the psyche and cause “worse things.”
But what to make of the fact that one of Epstein's accomplices, modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, committed suicide in Paris's Sante prison in 2022?
THERE WAS NO SENSATION
When he took office, US President Donald Trump promised not only to reveal secrets about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 9/11, or UFOs. He also guaranteed to tell the public what the FBI covered up in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
In February, US Attorney General Pam Bondi declassified the first batch of documents, which included copies of Epstein's private jet logbooks, a list of 254 "masseuses," and an address book.
The case also included a list of 150 pieces of evidence, including sex toys, massage tables, nude paintings and the like.
However, journalists immediately realized that all these lists and logbooks in one form or another had been circulating on the Internet for several years. There was no sensation.
The Prosecutor General's Office stated that so far they have only been able to obtain 200 pages on this criminal case, but they do not intend to stop and will continue to put pressure on the FBI.
Of course, we can wait a little longer, but there is an opinion that the public will not receive any “extra” information even under Trump. And all the inconvenient characters – victims, criminals, and investigators – will gradually be taken out of the game.
Some will (or have) gone into honorable retirement, and some will go to the next world. The American political machine will never shoot itself in the foot by telling truly inconvenient facts.
Well, is this the first time?
