In the US, the late American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of creating a sex trafficking ring and engaging in sexual abuse of girls under 18, the youngest being 14, and who died by suicide in prison in 2019 before his trial, continues to occupy the public agenda.
Well-known figures from the art world are also expressing their reactions to Epstein.
'THIS CASE WILL HAVE MANY REPERCUSSIONS'
Singer Murat Kekilli stated, "I am curious about the art world connection to the Epstein file in Turkey. This case will have many repercussions."
BACKGROUND OF THE EPSTEIN CASE
Jeffrey Epstein, who was being tried on charges of sexually abusing dozens of girls under 18, the youngest being 14, and creating a sex trafficking ring, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York, on August 10, 2019.
Authorities declared Epstein's cause of death as suicide, but his family members rejected this and expressed their suspicions.
Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was found guilty in a trial where she was accused of assisting Epstein's illegal activities in organizing the trafficking of underage girls for various wealthy individuals, celebrities, and government officials.
The Epstein case files, which began to be released last week, brought this issue back to the top of the agenda, and more than 4,500 documents released in 4 parts by the judge's decision revealed the connections between Epstein and many famous names.
The released court documents included famous names such as Prince Andrew, former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former US Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Although the names of Clinton and Trump appeared in the files, no charges were brought against the former presidents.
