Jeffrey Epstein ‘asked Andrew to introduce him to Gaddafi’, emails allege

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly helped Jeffrey Epstein try to arrange a meeting with Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli, according to emails released in the US Department of Justice’s Epstein files.
  • The messages from autumn 2010 show Epstein contacting royal aide David Stern to "organize with pa" a trip to Tripoli to meet "the father", believed to be Gaddafi.
  • Further emails, signed "A" and believed to be from Andrew, state "I will call you later this evening after I have had my chat with my Libyan contact to see what we can arrange for you in Tripoli" and later "Libya fixed. Call me whenever."
  • At the time, Andrew was the UK’s trade envoy, and the emails suggest he was consulted on the matter while on an official visit to Asia.
