Did Jeffrey Epstein purchase a palace in Morocco a day before his arrest in 2019? Here's what DOJ files show

Recent documents from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have revealed that Jeffrey Epstein attempted to purchase a luxurious palace in Morocco, known as Bin Ennakhil, just a day before his arrest in July 2019. The proposed acquisition was valued at 18 million euros and was being arranged through an offshore company, indicative of Epstein's continued efforts to secure assets even as legal troubles mounted. Reports suggest that Epstein viewed Morocco as a potential sanctuary amidst increasing scrutiny and allegations surrounding his criminal activities. However, the purchase was ultimately scrapped following his arrest, which marked a significant moment in the investigation into his widespread exploitation and trafficking of underage girls. This revelation adds further complexity to the narrative of Epstein's financial maneuvers and his attempts to evade justice prior to his high-profile arrest and subsequent death in custody. The documents not only shed light on his last-minute financial dealings but also underscore the lengths to which Epstein was willing to go to maintain his lavish lifestyle and seek refuge from impending legal consequences.
