JEFFREY Epstein’s shady links to Vladimir Putin have been revealed – with the paedophile financier using Russian girls in the “world’s largest honeytrap” for the KGB.
Thousands of bombshell files naming Putin and Moscow show unnamed sources discussing meetings between Epstein and the Russian president.

It comes after the Justice Department released millions of documents related to the convicted sex offender.
The latest batch contains over 1,000 pages naming the Russian president – as well as nearly 10,000 referring to Moscow.
US security officials claim Epstein had long-standing ties with the shady underworld of Russian organised crime.
They also believe these Russian gangs could have been blackmailing him.
This could explain Epstein’s ties to “Russian girls”, and how he was able to fly them over to the West so often.
A source told the Daily Mail : “You have Andrew, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and all the rest placed in compromising positions on an island bristling with technology.
“It’s the world’s largest honeytrap operation.”
They added: “The Americans have been on this for years, but our lot have seemed more queasy about it, presumably because of the Royal link.”
A bombshell email sent to Epstein on September 11, 2011, shows an anonymous sender discussing an “appointment with Putin” during one of the late paedophile’s upcoming trips to Russia.
The mystery person says to Epstein: “Spoke with Igor. He said last time you were in Palm Beach, you told him you had an appointment with Putin on Sept 16 and that he could go ahead and book his ticket to Russia to arrive a few days before you.”
The convicted sex trafficker appears to have had another meeting planned with Putin years later.
In a 2014 email, Japanese entrepreneur Joi Ito says to Epstein: “Hey Jeffrey, I wasn’t able to convince Reid to change his schedule to go meet Putin with you.”
The Reid he is referring to is understood to be Reid Hoffman, billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn.
It is unclear whether or not the meeting between Epstein and Putin without Reid ever took place.
But a follow-up email appears to suggest it was cancelled due to the Malaysia Airlines disaster in 2014, where Russia-backed forces shot down a passenger jet over Ukraine, killing 298 people.
Ito said following the attack: “Bad idea now after the plane crash.”

Another shocking email sent on November 10 shows Epstein asking someone if they need a Russian visa.
He then says during discussions on how to get hold of a travel permit: “I have a friend of Putin’s, should I ask him?”
Other messages showed that Epstein claimed he could provide the Kremlin with significant information on Donald Trump, ahead of the US president’s 2018 summit with his Russian counterpart.
In one message, Epstein said to the then secretary general of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn Jagland that he should ” suggest to putin, that lavrov [Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s veteran foreign minister], can get insight on talking to me [sic].”
Epstein also told Jagland that Trump “must be seen to get something”, before the diplomat replied saying he would meet Lavrov’s assistant to relay the message.
Epstein also messaged Trump ally earlier that month – to inform him of Jagland’s upcoming meeting with Putin and Lavrov.
The bombshell exchanges took place before the historic Helsinki summit with Trump and Putin in 2018 – where the Russian president faced claims of interfering in the 2016 US election.
An FBI report also outlines claims that Epstein “was close to the former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak and trained as a spy under him”.
In June 2013, Epstein sent an email to Barak saying: “Putin will re do his staff in the summer, bringing only very trusted people closer… more info on phone or face to face.”

The FBI source also told how Epstein was linked to a former leader of Putin’s youth club called Masha Drokova, a firebrand supporter of the Russian dictator.
Her company Day One Ventures was accused of being in Silicon Valley to “steal technology” from the US according to intelligence sources.
They also told how she once called Epstein a “wonderful man” during a conversation with an FBI spy.
All high-profile names mentioned in the files deny all wrongdoing in their connection to Epstein.
Epstein had ties to Putin even after the disgraced financier’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
US security reportedly “monitored” Epstein’s Russia links for years – while UK counterparts were more hesitant due to the paedophile’s connection to former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, intelligence sources claim.
They also allege that Epstein may have been introduced to the world of espionage through disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell.

The notorious press baron died in 1991 when his body was found floating in the Atlantic – and in a similar fashion to Epstein, his death sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories due to the murky circumstances.
Maxwell, a former British MP, worked as a Russian asset from the 1970s, security sources say – helping Mossad to extradite Soviet Jews back to Israel.
In return, he is believed to have laundered Russian money into the West with the help of Epstein, sources also claimed.
They believe the convicted sex offender was made acquainted with Maxwell and the KGB by a senior Russian oil tycoon.

The batch heaps more pressure on Andrew, who has denied all allegations against him, but is mentioned and pictured several times.
He was seen in one image on all fours over a woman sprawled out on the floor.
And they show Epstein even tried to drag the late Queen Elizabeth II into a campaign to win an Oscar for 2010 film The King’s Speech.
Sir Keir Starmer urged Andrew to testify over his links to Epstein on Saturday.
His calls came after a second woman claimed that she had been abused “terribly” by both Andrew and Epstein.
She gave a statement to in which she alleged she was trafficked to .
Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims who died by suicide in April, claimed the convicted sex offender forced her to have sex with Andrew on three separate occasions, including when she was just 17.
Andrew has always denied the allegations.
