Records Reveal Epstein and Maxwell Visited Colombia, Met Former President Pastrana
Newly released immigration records confirm that disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell visited Colombia in the early 2000s. Epstein stayed for three days in July 2002, while Maxwell traveled there in March 2007. The documents, obtained by research organization CasaMacondo through a freedom of information lawsuit, show both individuals entered as tourists and departed for Miami. Significant evidence includes photographs of Maxwell with then-Colombian President Andres Pastrana at a military base in Melgar, where she reportedly flew a helicopter, citing a shared passion for aviation. In a 2025 statement to the US Department of Justice, Maxwell acknowledged touring Colombia with Pastrana and Epstein. Current Colombian President Gustavo Petro publicly confirmed these findings on social media, highlighting Epstein's connections to high-level political elites in the country. While entry and exit dates are verified, the specific purposes of their visits and local networks remain partially unclear. This revelation underscores the extensive reach of Epstein's alleged trafficking network, extending from New York financial circles to South American political leadership.
