New documents about Jeffrey Epstein, released by the United States Department of Justice, show that the financier wanted to buy the former Yugoslav embassy building in New York, known as "Tito's Villa."

Among the new documents, released a few days ago, is an email that Epstein received with 26 photos of this villa, as well as a clipping from the New York Post with the headline "for $50 million you can become the owner of the last villa from the golden age of Manhattan."


On December 10, 2018, Epstein received an email from financial advisor David Mitchell informing him that a fire had broken out in the building and that it might be time to submit an offer, the report said. click..ba.

The financier then sent a New York Post link to two email addresses, mentioning the fire, and they informed him that the building should now be significantly cheaper.

However, Epstein ultimately did not buy the villa. It was sold four years later for $50 million, with Serbia receiving 40 percent of the amount, based on Annex B of the Agreement on the Succession of the Property of the Former SFRY Abroad. Our state received $7.5 million.

Interestingly, during his attempt to purchase this building, Epstein also contacted the former High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Miroslav Lajcak.

It was October 25, 2017, when Epstein sent a text message to Lajcak that "I went to see the former Yugoslav embassy. They told me it's for sale, but that all five governments have to agree, the Serbian one and the others. Interesting."

Lajcak replied that "they will never agree. Since 2001 they have been trying to agree on the division of property and there is no end in sight. For everything related to the former Yugoslavia or the current successor states, you should consult me, I know them to the core."

We recall that Lajcak is often mentioned in the Epstein files and that a few days ago, for this reason, he resigned from his position as advisor to the Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico. /Telegraph/
