Olivia G Davies BBC - British Broadcasting Corporation Request¶

To whom it may concern, Under the Freedom of Information legislation, I wish to request access specific documents referred to in case number 08-CIV-80736 – MARA “Jane Doe 1 and 2 v USA.” In particular I would like to (A) confirm the existence of, and (B) receive any communications between Buckingham Palace or the Office of “Prince Andrew” or “The Duke of York” and the Justice department in relation to the sentencing and case of Epstein. These communications were requested by Brad Edwards in the case referred to above, in a bundle of documents loosely referred to as ‘production number 8’ which outlines the business connections of Epstein and the submissions made to the department of Justice lobbying for a favourable deal. As I understand it, the court accepted that the victims should know about these communications. I will outline below the various references to this bundle and Prince Andrew that are mentioned in the documents, in an effort to make it easier for you to find where these communications might be held: -In Document 279 communications from Prince Andrew on behalf of Epstein are specifically mentioned in relation to this production request. -In document DE 225 paragraphs 8 we are told that “Epstein refused to produce that information, and (as the Court is aware) extended litigation to obtain the materials followed. The Court rejected all of Epstein’s objections to producing the materials.” -A reference to document DE48 attachment A (now sealed) refers to DE 48 containing some communications and lobbying on behalf of Epstein by powerful friends and possibly some of his co accused. -Furthermore in document 48 (Jane doe 1 and 2 motion for filing of violations of the CVRA.) Paragraph 32 we are told “the justice dept has in its possession logs, email, phone calls of these varying lobbying efforts” Many thanks, Olivia Davies¶
