Ghislaine Maxwell's name, already linked to one of the most notorious criminal networks of the past decade, returned to the global spotlight after the US Department of Justice released a tranche of long-sealed records related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The release has prompted detailed public scrutiny of Maxwell's documented conduct and also revived a peculiar story first reported in 2002, in which she allegedly discussed flying a military helicopter over Colombia and firing rockets at a terrorist camp.
