New York prosecutors are said to be investigating billionaire Leon Black. He is accused of being involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring.
New York – There are new developments in the process of multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring. Leon Black, who had been noticed in the past through close contacts with Epstein, is being investigated by the prosecutor’s office in Manhattan. This was reported by variatyfair.com in relation to two anonymous sources. It investigates the allegations of two former models who accuse Black, among other things, of rape.
Black has been fighting a court battle with the two women for a long time in the United States. They accuse the billionaire of sexual assault, rape and involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring. Time and again, Black’s lawyers have called the charges “complete fiction”. However, there is evidence of close ties to Epstein that go beyond what Black calls a purely professional relationship.

In January 2021, Black resigned as CEO of Apollo, one of the world’s largest investment companies, after his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein became known. A company investigation found that Black had paid Epstein a total of $ 158 million between 2012 and 2017. The money was supposedly intended for tax advice, as variatyfair.com wrote.
In the following June, the first complaint against Black came about by the Russian model Guzel Ganieva. Accordingly, the entrepreneur is said to have raped her in 2014. The model has since also accused Black of flying her against her will to Palm Beach, USA, in 2008 to “satisfy the sexual needs of Epstein, his ‘best friend'”.

In September 2021, the second accuser came into play. She has remained anonymous so far, although it is only known that she is also a former model. She also accused Black of rape, claiming that the billionaire paid her $ 5,000 to help with her credit card debt after the crime. According to Black’s team, “it is significant that the claim is made anonymously and relates to events that allegedly took place around 20 years ago.”
According to anonymous sources at variatyfair.com, the Manhattan prosecutor’s investigation is still in its early stages. First, the trial of Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is also said to have connections to the sex ring, takes place. (vbu)
