However,researchers for the upcoming three-part documentaryGhislaine Maxwell:Epstein’s Shadow found that her famous and wealthy friends,including Prince Andrew,were becoming part of Epstein’s network in the late 1980s.
The information was gleaned from more than 200 interviews as well as scouring court documents.
“We were able to use court documents which are full of redacted names.
“There is always a reason for that,and it certainly set us looking into things,” Emma Cooper,executive producer of the documentary,toldThe Observer.
“Interviews with so many allowed our team to do an amazing amount of cross-referencing of testimony,and so we started to suspect that she had known Epstein longer,right back in the late 1980s when he was doing business in London.
