The federal judge ruled that the testimony of the secret big jury leading to trading in Ghislaine Maxwell people will remain sealed and rejects arguments for their public release.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said in a written decision on Monday (11th August) that the release of materials undermines the basic secrets of a large jury.
The government suggested that the materials be released publicly “carelessly or promiscuous”, which would risk “unraveling the foundations of the secrets on which a large jury is presented” and disrupts the trust of people who witness to future large juries, Engelmayer wrote.
He also rejected the idea that the publication would be harmless because the information was included in the Maxwell Court.
“There is no answer to the claim that the release of Grand Jury materials, because there is redundant evidence in Maxwell’s court would be harmless,” he added. “The same can be said of almost any testimony of a large jury … Given the support of the accusations that later continued to court.”
The prosecutors tried to develop testimony
Federal prosecutors advocated the termination of documents in an effort to solve public suspicion surrounding government knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein, a financier, died in prison in 2019 and waited for the court about trading fees. Maxwell, his former girlfriend and associate of Sociality, was later convicted of helping him to exploit a minor girl.
The Ministry of Justice acknowledged that there was no testimony from civil witnesses – all who testified were members of the right to enforce.
