This is stated in the released files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
What is mentioned about women from Odessa in Epstein's files?
As follows from the correspondence, Epstein himself did not necessarily visit Odessa in person, but representatives of his entourage repeatedly came to the city in different years, in particular in 2010, 2012, 2018 and 2019. The files record the trips of members of the financier's team to Ukraine, as well as the movement of women from Odessa to European cities, in particular Paris.
According to the published fragments of correspondence, in 2018, one of the Odessa women named Olga Zasyadko flew to France. To buy tickets for her, Epstein engaged a special Russian-speaking customer service manager for the Centurion company, Natalia Molotkova. The documents also contain references to cooperation with modeling agencies in Odessa.
Most of the material released is excerpts from instant messaging messages, partially censored by U.S. investigative agencies. Names and details are in many cases withheld.
