Newly released US justice documents are shedding light on Jeffrey Epstein’s deep links to Switzerland.

Millions of pages made public this week point to regular contacts in Zurich, Geneva and Verbier, including emails, travel records and financial transactions. 

Press reports in the NZZ and the Blick report that Epstein helped fund training courses for young women near Lake Geneva and covered flights, hotels and visas. 

The files also suggest women were being introduced to him while he was in Switzerland. 

At the same time, correspondence shows Epstein was in contact with figures from Swiss private banking circles, including senior names linked to UBS and Geneva-based banks.
