This Saturday the investor Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, who would be facing charges of sexual exploitation of minors. All this happened because of a new investigation of the charges of sexual delinquency of minors charged to the tycoon in 2008.

Epstein was arrested this Saturday at the Teterboro Airport, when the billionaire was preparing to return from Paris on his private plane. In this way, he would be facing new charges of trafficking and sexual abuse of minors.

The FBI special agents would be commissioning to search his properties, including the one in Manhattan, to find evidence of all the charges to which he is accused. At the moment, all the charges against Epstein have not yet been shown publicly.

According to allegations and reports from the entities in charge, Epstein's modus operandi was to invite his victims by requesting a massage, although he would actually end up paying them for committing sexual abuse.

In addition, some workers and acquaintances of Jeffrey Epstein have indicated that they themselves would have been in charge of recruiting or obtaining minors for Epstein.

All this event took place after reviewing the agreement, given in 2008, by the current Secretary of Employment in the Donald Trump Administration, Alex Acosta. He himself was working, on that date, as a federal prosecutor in South Florida and was in charge of supervising the entire Epstein case on behalf of the Department of Justice.

It must be remembered that Jeffrey Epstein had a close relationship with the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, which could have prompted Acosta to make such decisions on Epstein's case to acquit him of all kinds of aggravating charges in 2008.

In this way, this entire case has been reassigned to the Southern District of New York. These members in charge of directing the case have also indicated that they will seek, not only to do justice by revealing Epstein's guilt, but also to find all the people who participated in this network of the famous tycoon.

Jeffrey Epstein is a famous billionaire investor and manager, who, during the course of his life, has been involved with famous political figures such as Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Alan Dershwitz.

Throughout his life, Epstein has been involved in scandals of sexual abuse of minors, although he had always come out unscathed in court. For all these reasons, everything seems to indicate that justice will finally be achieved for all those victims who suffered sexual abuse by the tycoon.
