Mark Epstein, brother of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, says he doesn’t believe the U.S. Department of Justice report stating his brother killed himself. He is demanding a new investigation into the disgraced financier’s death.
Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on charges of child sex crimes for a second time on July 6th, 2019 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Just over a month later, he is alleged to have hanged himself in a New York prison.
“I would like a full investigation of his death,” Mark Epstein said in a recent interview, adding: “If you look at all the evidence, including the autopsy, the photographs of his body, the bullshit DOJ report that is filled with inaccuracies, you would never come up with the conclusion that this was a suicide — but based on what?”
While some hold other theories surrounding Epstein’s death, his brother Mark believes another prisoner was able to sneak into Jeffrey’s cell and murder him. According to the brother, not all of the cells on the tier that housed Jeffrey Epstein had been locked that night — giving potential opportunity to other inmates. Mark Epstein does still acknowledge, however, that someone may have had his brother killed on that night in August of 2017.
Mark Epstein also revealed that Jeffrey Epstein had no clue he would be arrested a second time. In 2007, the New York fancier struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors concerning charges he had had sex with minors. Mark Epstein claims Jeffrey Epstein believed that the deal shielded him from further federal prosecution.
