Newly released US Department of Justice documents show Jeffrey Epstein sent money to Reinaldo Avila da Silva, Peter Mandelson's husband, in September 2009. Emails reveal Da Silva requested approximately £10,000 for an osteopathy course and equipment shortly after Epstein's release from prison. Epstein agreed to wire the funds immediately. This disclosure follows Mandelson's reported dismissal as UK ambassador to Washington due to scrutiny regarding his relationship with the disgraced financier.
