Epstein suicide: US Department of Justice raises allegations against imprisonment
The US Department of Justice has condemned the „serious” failure to supervise Epstein, who committed a sex crime. This made his suicide possible, but he sees no evidence of third party fault.
Four years after perpetrator Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in a New York jail cell, the US Department of Justice has made serious allegations against prison authorities and corrections officers. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a report that staff made „numerous and serious” errors in their supervision of the 66-year-old. This allowed Epstein to kill.
According to the report, the imprisoned multimillionaire was „unsupervised and alone in his cell” from the evening of August 9, 2019, at around 10:40 p.m. until his body was discovered at around 6:30 a.m. the next morning. He had „an excessive amount of bed linen” in the cell. This is a security risk – the millionaire used textiles to help him commit suicide.
After 10:40 p.m., there were actually no prescribed patrols every half hour, Horowitz continues. In addition, Epstein had to share his cell with another inmate due to the risk of suicide, but was moved on August 9. Prison officials failed to move another inmate into Epstein’s cell. The report also denounces the problems of video surveillance and basic problems such as staff shortages in prisons.
the general inspector confirms the FBI’s discovery
The inspector general wrote, „The report’s combination of negligence, misconduct, and complete failure to act contributed to creating an environment in which one of the most notorious inmates in Federal Department of Correction custody had the opportunity to kill himself.” This denied Epstein’s victims the opportunity to seek justice through the justice system. It also led to „questions about the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death”.
Forensic medicine declared that the wealthy investor committed suicide. However, a pathologist hired by Epstein’s brother questioned this finding and suggested that the millionaire had been murdered in his cell. An FBI investigation concluded that Epstein was not the victim of a crime. The DOJ Inspector General has now confirmed that in the course of his investigation no indications arose that would contradict the FBI’s findings. To this day, there are conspiracy theories about death.
Epstein is said to have sexually abused underage girls and young women into prostitution for years. The millionaire was convicted of sex crimes in 2008 but served only 13 months in prison under a controversial deal with prosecutors. In August 2019, he was found dead in his New York prison cell after being arrested again. If convicted, he would have faced decades in prison.

Russia suspects a complex plan behind the attack on the Crimean bridge in 2022. Kiev confirms involvement – are more attacks planned?
KERCH – Ukraine repeatedly resorts to unconventional means in its defensive battle against Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s army – perhaps also due to a persistent ammunition shortage. next to 3D printed bombsAs with those used in Ukraine’s war last year, the Crimean Bridge is also said to have been destroyed using an explosive device, the Ukrainian online newspaper reported. Ukrainian Pravda.
The strategically important Kerch Bridge, which connects the Russian mainland to the annexed Crimean peninsula, has been attacked several times by the Ukrainian army. It is now said that an explosive attack has been detected on October 8, 2022 and reveals a complex plan. The explosive device that caused extensive damage to the bridge appears to have been hidden among several rolls of plastic wrap – and had traveled a long time ago.
Traveling for more than two months – the explosive device remained undetected by Russia
The homemade explosive device was said to have relied on solid rocket fuel, according to the Russian newspaper Kommersant Citing reported investigative materials. Even more surprising than the explosive device itself is how it got to the Qurum Bridge in the first place. Hidden among 22 pallets of polyethylene film, it is said to have initially arrived in Georgia from the Ukrainian city of Odessa. From there it was transported to Armenia, where the shipment was cleared through customs. The accompanying documents have been replaced in the meantime.
The pallets were then delivered on a truck across the Georgian-Russian border to Armavir in Russia’s Krasnodar region, Russian investigations showed. The explosive device spent the rest of the journey in a Russian truck, the driver of which is said to have known nothing about the plans.
According to Russian authorities, Ukrainian backers chose this complicated route for a very specific purpose. This was an attempt to distract attention from the actual goods – and it is clearly a successful tactic.
Ukraine waited for the right time, as an explosive device was detonated on the Crimean GPS bridge.
Russia believes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the Ukrainian secret service to carry out the attack on the Kerch Bridge, according to reports. Newsweek. He equipped the explosive device with a GPS system, causing the bomb to explode in a pre-determined section of the bridge. This information cannot currently be independently verified.
However, the attack did not fail to have its effect: using an explosive force of about 10 tons of TNT, large parts of the bridge were severely damaged. Two bridges collapsed as a result of the explosion, and 17 cargo tanker cars loaded with fuel were damaged. as Daily news It was reported that at least three people died in the explosion.
Military bloggers fear further attacks by Ukraine on the Crimean Bridge
Kiev is said to be upon request Newsweek Claims responsibility for the attack on the Kerch Bridge. It is assumed in Russia that Ukraine is planning more such measures. The Ryapar channel, which is said to be linked to the Russian Defense Ministry, expressed similar concerns on Telegram last week.
Accordingly, Ukraine used American decoy missiles to locate Russian air defense systems and radars. The channel suspects that this is preparation for another attack on the strategically important bridge. This may happen before Putin is officially inaugurated as Russian president on May 7.

The Crimean Bridge near Kerch plays an important role in the logistics of Russian forces in Ukraine. Moscow expects Ukraine to launch an attack on Putin’s majestic palace in the coming days, and threatens the consequences.
Russia warned of a „devastating retaliatory strike” if Ukraine attacks Crimea or the Crimean Bridge with Western support. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in Moscow at a press conference: “I would like to once again warn Washington, London and Brussels that any aggressive actions against Crimea will not only be doomed to failure, but will also be met with a devastating retaliatory strike.” In the Russian capital.
In recent days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been observed using several ATACMS missiles against Crimea. Zakharova said: “According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, all the missiles launched were destroyed.” She expressed doubts that the government in Kiev was planning a major attack before or on May 9. On this day, Russia celebrates the victory of the Soviet Union over Germany in World War II.
