The documents were declassified in the lawsuit filed against the JPMorgan Chase bank by the authorities in the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a residence.
JPMorgan, the institution that managed his finances for years, ended the collaboration before Epstein was indicted, and later reported several suspicious transactions to the American financial supervisory authorities (FinCEN).
The documents indicate the existence of an account at Goldman Sachs and three accounts at HSBC's Swiss private banking division, without details of amounts or operations.
According to Goldman Sachs, the relationship with Epstein was closed in 2010, with the funds being transferred to other banks. HSBC representatives refused to comment.
Epstein died in 2019, in custody, while awaiting trial for child trafficking. His death, officially classified as suicide, has sparked numerous conspiracy theories, fueled by his connections with important figures in politics and finance.
The subject continues to be a sensitive one for former US President Donald Trump, who abandoned the plan to declassify the files of the Department of Justice related to the Epstein case, a decision criticized even by his supporters.
Currently, the Committee for Oversight and Reform in the House of Representatives continues its investigations into the financial networks involved in the Epstein case.
