Documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein reveal connections between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the disgraced financier, including interactions with Anil
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended an innovation conference in Tel Aviv, Israel, on July 6, 2017. The latest release of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein has revealed extensive connections between high-profile Indian officials and the disgraced financier.
The documents include emails showing that Anil Ambani, a close associate of Modi, communicated with Epstein about setting up meetings for Modi with top US officials. Additionally, Hardeep Singh Puri, a former Indian Foreign Service officer who joined Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party in 2014, had multiple interactions with Epstein.
Epstein offered to arrange meetings between Modi and Steve Bannon hours after Modi won the 2019 Indian national election. While India has dismissed the references to Modi in the Epstein documents, the relationships highlighted in these communications raise questions about the nature of these connections.
The article also mentions that India became the largest buyer of Israeli weapons following Modi's 2017 visit to Israel, marking a significant shift in India's foreign policy towards Israel, which only opened formal diplomatic ties in 1992. Before that, Indian citizens had been barred by India from travelling to Israel since the country's creation in 1948.
