Jeffrey Epstein documents reveal 188 mentions of Sri Lanka

Must read

Investigations into the newly released “Epstein Files” by the U.S. Department of Justice have revealed 188 mentions of Sri Lanka within the massive data set.

The documents, which include millions of emails, flight logs, and meeting notes, are being released in batches following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in late 2025.

The U.S. Department of Justice website currently requires users to verify they are over 18 before accessing the database, as certain files contain graphic descriptions of sexual abuse that are not suitable for all audiences.

According to the analysed data, the references to Sri Lanka appear across various categories, including records of individuals arriving in or departing from Sri Lanka, residency details, and flight manifests.

Mention of the country is also found in emails, contact notes, and background information for professional or personal meetings. Furthermore, Sri Lanka is listed in biographical data as a birthplace or a temporary place of stay for various associates or individuals in the network.

Crucially, most of these mentions do not directly link the country to the criminal activities or sexual assault allegations central to the case.

Instead, they appear as incidental or background data. Notably, one document discussing democracy in Asian nations mentions the transition of power in Sri Lanka when Maithripala Sirisena defeated Mahinda Rajapaksa in the 2015 presidential election.

Another email reportedly refers to a specific “opportunity” or circumstance within the country, though further context remains under review.

Note from Legal Experts: The inclusion of a name or a location in these documents does not imply wrongdoing. Legal analysts emphasise that these records must be interpreted within their specific context, as many individuals were mentioned in passing during routine administrative or social activities.
