A previously undisclosed Drug Enforcement Administration investigation opened in 2010 named Jeffrey Epstein and 14 other individuals as targets of a federal probe into suspicious money transfers believed to be tied to illegal narcotics and prostitution. The existence of the probe emerges from a newly released document now publicly available through the Department of Justice's Epstein files library.
'DEA reporting indicates the above individuals are involved in illegitimate wire transfers which are tied to illicit drug and/or prostitution activities occurring in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York City,' the 2015 document states.
