Pedophile
sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein treated the 2014 Western-backed coup in
Kiev as a lucrative business opportunity, newly released documents
suggest.
The latest batch of Epstein-related files released by the
US Department of Justice last week includes emails in which the
disgraced financier sought to encourage his contacts, including Ariane
de Rothschild and British billionaire Richard Branson, to cash in on the
post-coup chaos in Ukraine.
In fact, Swiss bankers Edmond de
Rothschild Group – headed by Ariane de Rothschild – did take over the
business assets of the first post-coup president, Pyotr Poroshenko. It
later got its hands on Ukrainian state energy giant Nafta, where it
pulled strings and steered billions in state finances.
