Inside the Epstein Files: Non-American Figures Named and What Happened Next

The renewed release of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents has reignited worldwide scrutiny of how power, wealth, and international networks operated around one of the most notorious sex-trafficking cases in modern history.

While most individuals referenced in the files are American, dozens of prominent non-US figures appear across court records, emails, calendars, photographs, and witness testimony.

Essential clarification

Being named in Epstein files does not equal criminal guilt. Many individuals appear due to social contact, third-party references, or logistical records. In most cases, no criminal charges have been filed.

The phrase “Epstein files” refers to multiple document releases, not a single list:

  • Unsealed US federal court filings (January 2024)

  • US Department of Justice disclosures (December 2025 – January 2026)

  • Exhibits from civil litigation connected to Ghislaine Maxwell

Non-U.S. figures confirmed by Reuters/AP as appearing in the latest DOJ document releases (2025–2026)

United Kingdom (royals, politics, business)

  • Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, UK) — Appears repeatedly in emails/photos; has denied wrongdoing; has been stripped of titles and removed from royal duties (institutional fallout in the UK).

  • Sarah Ferguson (UK) — Appears in emails about debt help and PR advice; issued apologies in past for taking money; no charges.

  • Peter Mandelson (UK) — Reuters says his name appears thousands of times; he faced major political scrutiny, lost his ambassador role (per Reuters), and UK police opened/advanced an investigation; police asked government to withhold some documents to avoid harming the probe.

  • Richard Branson (UK) — Numerous emails with Epstein; reputational criticism but no formal sanctions reported.

  • Mick Jagger (UK) — Appears in DOJ-released images (Reuters photo set); this is documentation of association/photos, not an allegation of a crime.

  • Jes Staley (UK) — Reuters summarizes extensive email contact; his case has had serious professional/legal consequences in the UK financial sector (bans/litigation context), though not a trafficking charge.

Norway (royalty)

  • Crown Princess Mette-Marit (Norway) — Reuters reports emails/contact after Epstein’s 2008 conviction; public apology and intense domestic backlash; Norwegian PM publicly criticized the “poor judgement.”

Israel

  • Ehud Barak (Israel) — Reuters/AP describe frequent appearances (logistics, plans, ongoing contact); major media scrutiny; no criminal charge reported in connection to Epstein’s victims.

Slovakia

  • Miroslav Lajčák (Slovakia) — AP reports he resigned after communications/photos surfaced; he denied wrongdoing and described contact as diplomatic.

Non-U.S. figures well-documented in unsealed court filings (Jan 2024)

These are from the unsealed civil-case materials where names often appear as testimony references / third-party mentions. Being named ≠ wrongdoing.

  • Stephen Hawking (UK, deceased) — Mentioned in reporting on the unsealed filings largely in connection with travel/event context; no allegation of abuse substantiated in the document summaries you’ll see publicly.

  • Cate Blanchett (Australia) — Reported as appearing as a “name-drop” in testimony context (e.g., “did you meet X?” type references), not as an accused party.

“Reported mentions / indirect references”

These names are reported by explainers based on reading of the releases, but the public documentation typically looks like indirect references, scheduling notes, or Epstein’s own claims rather than independently corroborated facts. Treat as unverified/incomplete unless confirmed by Reuters/AP in a specific line item.

  • Kevin Rudd (Australia) — Reported as appearing in scheduling/context references; he has denied close association in past reporting.

  • Narendra Modi (India) — Reported as being referenced indirectly in correspondence; not an accusation of criminal conduct.

  • Anil Ambani (India) — Reported in business/communications context; not a trafficking charge.
