Ibiza was one of the European epicenters of Epstein's network

Palm"Tons of young people wow"That's how one of them referred to it." scout Jeffrey Epstein's preferred (top model selector) to the young women he had recruited for one of the many stays they were organizing in Ibiza some fifteen years ago. He wrote this in an email sent in 2010, in which photo shoots with high-profile models were apparently being arranged. The constant references to age and the comments in the messages between the American magnate—who committed suicide in 2019 in prison in New York—and his associates confirm that Ibiza played a key role in the network of influence and international business spaces, with the backdrop of the company of young women, always identified girls in communications.

The messages demonstrate frenetic activity with a repeating pattern: a system of a global elite where business, luxury villas and young models were structurally combinedwith Ibiza as one of the most recurring and influential locations.

The emails show how Epstein and his network—agents like Daniel, intermediaries like Tigran and scouts Like Clifford, they coordinated the presence of young models in Ibiza, Paris, Saint-Tropez, New York, Los Angeles, and Moscow. The largest of the Pitiusas Islands played in the same league as these luxury destinations, and the models traveled with carefully planned itineraries: flights from New York and Paris to Ibiza, accommodation in private homes and luxury hotels, and availability for photo shoots, social events, and private meetings with high-net-worth individuals, all accompanied by the best company.

A business model implemented in Ibiza

Miguel, a gardener who works in ultra-luxury homes and who asks ARA Baleares not to be identified with the lineage, explains that "normally these houses, which they call villasThey host parties that can cost up to a million euros. "Everything is exclusive, there's a lot of alcohol and other substances, and in some cases, young escorts." In a society with the highest price per square meter in all of Spain, and where access to housing has become a tragedy, this festival of excess is a short-term alternative: "We Ibizans know what's going on, and many make a living from it. We live alongside these centers of excess during the summer, and we don't even want to know the names of the celebrities who come and go." It's no coincidence that Ibiza airport is one of the busiest in Spain, receiving more private jets each year.

Among the young women repeatedly mentioned in the communications are Anastasia and Alesya, Russian and Eastern European models between the ages of 18 and 22.

At least one minor appears.

One of the communications explicitly refers to a minor. The interlocutors, always from Epstein's inner circle, mention a French girl named Luna, who is fifteen years old, and it is stated verbatim that: "Her parents have kept an eye on me and are very happy that their daughter is starting to model." The tone of the correspondence demonstrates a systematic control over the ages, availability, and itineraries of young people.

The emails also reflect how Epstein and his associates used Ibiza and other cities as an elite operational hub. In Ibiza, the luxury villas and mansions were not just places to sleep: they were settings for meetings, social gatherings, and photo shoots. One email speaks of an "Ibiza session with Marc Lagrange" and uncensored photos are attached, accompanied by the comment "Wonderful!", suggesting that the production and distribution of images was an essential part of the system. This was combined with international clubs and DJs, DJ "from "Ibiza," which served as a lure for Epstein's potential clients, always with the same approach: exclusive parties where young models were introduced to powerful contacts.

Chalets worth 50 million euros

The ultra-luxury real estate scene, ever-present in Ibiza, is no stranger to the plot. Epstein held talks with owners of large villas on the island to use them as bases. Among the names appearing in the leaked documents are those of executives with high-level real estate connections, as well as Guy Laliberté, the founder of Cirque du Soleil, owner of iconic residences such as Can Soleil and Can Luna, in the municipality of Sant Josep, which Epstein wanted to acquire for his businesses. Laliberté explained that he had invested "a lot of energy and love" in these properties and wanted them to remain in "trusted hands." In his accompanying offer, he provided links and details so that Epstein or someone in his circle could consider the purchase. Epstein, in fact, asked for more information about prices and features, and an assistant of Laliberté provided him with data showing that Can Soleil was for sale for around 49.5 million euros (with weekly rentals between 75,000 and 130,000 euros) and Can Luna for 14.5 million euros.

At the same time, Epstein and his associates interacted with top-level businesspeople and contacts, offering them experiences and meetings. Names like Nicole Junkermann, a German investor with ties to London and international businesses, appear in messages with Epstein, suggesting meetings in which figures like Mark Packer (owner of restaurants such as TAO in the United States) and Boris Nikolic were discussed, including details of nightclubs, reservations, and accommodation plans. In one email thread, an intermediary asks:Will you be in Europe? There's something that might interest you"('Will you be in Europe? Is there anything that might interest you?'), a gentle formulation that combines social invitations with suggestions of private encounters. In another email, a businesswoman states that a friend will be in Ibiza for a few days, and addresses the plot: 'You won't leave him alone, will you?'

Red

Epstein sent models for "sessions" to Paris and Saint-Tropez, or for meetings in New York and Los Angeles. Ibiza was just as important—according to the emails—as a hub for doing business and finding companionship. Russian models sent from Moscow often traveled first to Ibiza, where they met with scoutsAfter the initial screening, the models were transferred to other key cities on the circuit. This constant flow was meticulously monitored: who arrives when, who stays, how many days are needed, and how each model's schedule fits with the contacts' plans.

The emails also portray the enormous sums of money Epstein's organization invested to keep the business model running. Hotels, tickets, and taxis were constantly being used, both to the airport and to a luxury villa. The messages include specific and detailed accounting of the scheme.

Thus, the portrait that emerges from Jeffrey Epstein's emails is that of a sophisticated, global system, with nodes in major business and leisure cities, but with Ibiza as one of the most frequently recurring nerve centers. A scheme now exposed that has implicated businesspeople, prominent international figures, and up to four royal houses.

Ibiza and the other cities where the plot unfolded became a hub within a network of power, influence, and access to young people, some of them minors, integrated into itineraries that combined business, image, and entertainment. The literal expressions of the emails —"a ton of wow girls"('A lot of young people, wow'),"So she's yours if you want." ("If you want her, she's yours"),just receive the raw pics from my Ibiza session" ("I just received the photos from my Ibiza shoot"),what happens in Ibiza stays in Ibiza ;-)" ("What happens in Ibiza, stays in Ibiza")—these are not just brushstrokes: they are pieces of a mosaic that shows how Ibiza, under the curtain of luxury and partying, was a structural piece within a top-level network to generate and maintain elite contacts and businesses.
