Mauritius Named in Declassified Jeffrey Epstein Investigation Files

Mauritius has emerged as a recurring location in the “Epstein Files,” a vast trove of millions of documents recently declassified and released by the United States Department of Justice. The documents, seized during the investigation into disgraced American financier Jeffrey Epstein, contain thousands of references to the island nation.

Early analysis of the files reveals mentions of Mauritian-based companies, local phone numbers using the +230 international dialling code, and specific records of travel to the island.

Corporate and Personal Links

Search results within the three million pages of released data show an extensive trail of professional and personal connections. Notable entries include:

• Financial Entities: Email exchanges detailing presentations from a long-standing fund management firm active in the Mauritian market.
• Travel Records: Specific correspondence referencing a stay in Mauritius dating back to 2010.
• Contact Data: Multiple files containing Mauritian telephone numbers and records of business-related exchanges.

Government Response Pending

The Mauritian authorities have been approached for comment regarding the potential involvement of local citizens or entities in the matter.

At the time of publication, a formal response remains outstanding.

Background to the Investigation

The “Epstein Files” consist of emails, financial dossiers, and contact lists compiled by US investigators.

The material was gathered as part of the sex trafficking and exploitation case against Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested in 2019.

Epstein died in prison while awaiting trial in circumstances officially ruled as suicide.

The Department of Justice has since moved to make the investigative material available online, providing a global look into the financier’s international network.
