A Philippine senator is looking to file a resolution to examine the extent of deceased billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein’s possible network in the country.
Senator Loren Legarda, according to the Inquirer, indicated her certainty that Epstein “had a network in the Philippines”, noting that she would “file the resolution to look into […] the organizations and syndicates that worked with him, as well as the PR companies that helped cleanse his physical and digital image in the Philippines”.
Epstein is reported to have indirectly hired a team in the Philippines to improve Epstein’s image and distract from negative search results.
The lawmaker said she based her assumptions of such a network on reports she had read.
The measure could include the Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation or the Senate Committee on Women.
The Epstein files already contain mentions of Macau, including key gambling tycoons that had operations in the SAR.
Numerous references to the Philippines, including the Ninoy Aquino airport, appear in the files, however the mentions are not necessarily linked to wrongdoing.
