Budapest link emerges in newly released Epstein files: Király Street flat and young Hungarian woman mentioned
Change language:
Freshly declassified documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case have uncovered surprising Hungarian threads, including correspondence about a property in central Budapest and a disturbing message referring to a young Hungarian woman.
The United States Department of Justice on Friday released more than three million pages of files, alongside roughly 2,000 videos and 180,000 images connected to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. Among the vast material are emails and messages that point directly to Budapest, as spotted by Diétás Magyar Múzsa.
Király Street address appears in Epstein’s emails
One exchange concerns a property in Budapest’s 7th district, on Király Street.
According to the documents, Norwegian film producer and architect Haakon Gundersen contacted Epstein in January 2017 about a potential sale. The correspondence includes the exact address: 70 Király Street.
Epstein reportedly urged that the flat be sold “as quickly as possible”. It remains unclear why he was involved in the deal or whether he ever visited the property.
According to Index, local reports note that the building, previously home to the now-closed Club Király nightclub, is in relatively poor condition compared to neighbouring properties. Some Hungarian media speculated that it would hardly fit the profile of a billionaire’s investment, though its intended use remains unknown.
There is no public evidence so far that the flat was ever connected to criminal activity.
Pedofidesz can relax that they won’t be linked to Epstein because Epstein liked girls and not boys.
First of all, owning a flat is not news.
Second, when talking about a podophile case, a 20 years old is not “young”.
Third, do you know, that prostitution is legal in Hungary?
SO what is disturbing enough to put disturbing into the title? That someone used slurs to describe an adult prostitute, that may or may not have committed tax evasion in her activities?
