Event Details

This legal document is a filing by the Government arguing for the continued detention of the defendant, asserting she is an extreme flight risk. The Government cites her foreign citizenship in a non-extraditing country, substantial international ties, financial resources, and the seriousness of the charges involving minor victims. The filing also refutes the defense's complaints about the conditions of confinement, stating the defendant has ample time and access to communicate with her counsel and review discovery materials.

This document is page 29 (filed 12/18/20) of a Government opposition to a renewed bail application in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Government argues against release, citing the defendant's multiple foreign citizenships (including a non-extradition country), substantial wealth, and demonstrated sophistication in hiding assets as indicators of extreme flight risk. The document also defends the conditions of confinement at the MDC, noting the defendant has 13 hours a day to review discovery and access to attorney communications.

This is page 14 (Bates DOJ-OGR-00001159) of a Government filing in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN), filed December 18, 2020. The prosecution argues against bail, citing the defendant's flight risk, wealth, and ability to frustrate extradition from France or the UK. A critical footnote reveals that in 2018, the defendant and her spouse established a trust account where they both falsely listed their marital status as 'single' on bank forms.

This is page 19 (Document 100-2) from the case USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The US Government argues that the defendant poses a significant flight risk because waivers of extradition are legally unenforceable in France and the UK. The prosecution cites advice from the OIA and legal precedents to demonstrate that extradition is uncertain and lengthy, justifying continued detention pending trial.

This document is page 14 of a court filing (Document 100) from December 18, 2020, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Government argues that documentary evidence and witness testimony will 'virtually indisputably' prove that the defendant and Jeffrey Epstein interacted with minor victims at specific times and places. The document also references a 'Renewed Bail Motion' filed by the defense, though the specific arguments regarding that motion are largely redacted.

This page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) argues against granting bail to the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell). The prosecution details her sophisticated efforts to evade detection in the year prior to her arrest, including purchasing a home through a trust, using aliases with real estate agents, and holding assets/credit cards under false names. The document asserts these actions prove she is a flight risk capable of assuming a new identity.
