The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has accused the Western authorities of covering up global child trafficking linked to the late sex offender
The Western authorities shielded Jeffrey Epstein's child trafficking scheme, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, calling newly unsealed US Justice Department files "pure hell."
The DOJ published the final tranche of Epstein files last week, including 3,000 personal emails, tapes, photographs, and documents seized from his estate.
Among the documents was a diary belonging to one of Epstein's victims, a teenage girl who alleged that he used her as a "human incubator" to have his child.
According to the diary, the girl gave birth around 2002, aged 16 or 17. She claimed that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence, oversaw the birth, after which the newborn was taken, never to be seen again. Other files suggest Epstein may have fathered multiple children with his victims. Media reports previously claimed that he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA to create a "superior gene pool."
"I'm reading the Epstein files every day with incredible effort. It's pure hell," Zakharova wrote on Telegram on Friday, noting that the teen's diary particularly shocked her.
"Why did his accomplice [Maxwell] only get 20 years?!!!! Why wasn't an international investigation launched, given the international trafficking of children?"
Zakharova said Washington should have pursued Epstein more aggressively from the outset, including by alerting Interpol and Europol given "the scale of this hell."
She also questioned why no criminal charges have been brought against Epstein's clients, including former UK Prince Andrew. He was stripped of his royal titles last year amid scrutiny over his ties to Epstein and allegations by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked to him by Epstein. Giuffre died by suicide last April.
The Epstein files name several other high-profile figures, including US President Donald Trump, former US President BillClinton, Microsoft co-founder BillGates, and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. None has been charged, and all deny wrongdoing.
Zakharova said the handling of the case exposes the hypocrisy of the Western justice system, which she said shields elites from accountability.
"It's becoming clear: From the Kennedy assassination to the Nord Stream sabotage, nothing in the West is investigated when it implicates 'global elites,'" she wrote. "Ironically, their crimes are now captured in photos and videos - and yet they claim 'it's not all that clear.'"
