Overview
- The Justice Department released thousands of Epstein-related records including emails in which Ghislaine Maxwell arranged “two‑legged sightseeing” for an “Andrew” during a March 2002 trip to Peru, with no allegation of criminal conduct in the messages.
- Media analysis ties the alias “The Invisible Man” and the email address aace@dial.pipex.com to an entry labeled “Duke of York” in Epstein’s contact book, with contextual clues such as Balmoral references and Royal Navy timing cited; Andrew has denied wrongdoing.
- Documents show U.S. prosecutors asked the FBI to question Andrew about his relationship with convicted sex offender Peter Nygard and issued a 2020 mutual legal assistance request to interview him.
- Correspondence in the tranche indicates the Metropolitan Police contacted the FBI in November to review Epstein-related allegations linked to Andrew, while the force maintains no new criminal investigation will be opened without genuinely new evidence.
- Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips recounts a brief encounter with Andrew on the financier’s private island in 2000 and says significant material may still be undisclosed.
