Paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly transferred a substantial sum of money following a request from the spouse of Lord Peter Mandelson to cover osteopathy course fees, as per recently released documents. The correspondence, part of the “Epstein files,” included discussions between Epstein and Reinaldo Avila da Silva regarding payment for attendance at the British School of Osteopathy.

In a message dated September 7, 2009, Mr. Avila da Silva sought financial assistance from Epstein for his osteopathy course expenses, mentioning a specific amount of £3,225 for the annual fee. He provided his bank details and expressed gratitude for any support Epstein could offer.

Epstein promptly responded that he would wire the requested loan amount. Subsequently, a £10,000 transfer was mentioned by Mr. Avila da Silva, seeking clarification on whether this sum covered his school fees or if the £3,225 fee would be sent directly to the school.

Epstein confirmed the inclusion of the amount before Mr. Avila da Silva expressed appreciation for the funds received, acknowledging them in his account. These revelations come amidst Lord Mandelson’s recent apology to Epstein’s victims for his continued association with the convicted individual despite his criminal activities.

In a statement to the BBC’s Newsnight, Lord Mandelson admitted to his mistake in supporting Epstein post-conviction and acknowledged the impact on the victims. Despite attempts to distance himself, emails have surfaced showing the depth of their relationship, with Lord Mandelson advising Epstein on legal matters and expressing admiration just before Epstein’s incarceration.

Lord Mandelson has stated that Epstein kept him separate from certain aspects of his life due to his sexual orientation. When approached for comment, Lord Mandelson reiterated his apology and regret for being misled by Epstein. He emphasized that he was never complicit in Epstein’s crimes and expressed remorse for not believing the victims sooner.
