Anguish for Andrew if Epstein pilot ‘ready to testify’

A KEY member of Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle — a co-pilot who helped fly guests including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to his Caribbean island — is ready to testify to the US government, a top private investigator has claimed.

Nadia Marcinko, 41, has been co-operating with FBI agents since the paedophile’s death aged 66 while awaiting trial in August 2019, according to declassified documents released by America’s Department of Justice.

Now the Slovak-born pilot is said to be preparing to give evidence to Congress, and renowned private investigator Ed Opperman claims: “It will be like a house of cards collapsing if she flips and starts talking.”

Mr Opperman, who also hosts a crime podcast and is probing the “mysterious” deaths of 23 Epstein associates — many of which are officially listed as suicides — added: “She knows all the secrets and she definitely knows everybody that was on Epstein’s private jet since she was one of the pilots.”

At least four passenger manifests from the aircraft dubbed the Lolita Express that have been released by the DoJ show Andrew’s name on flights between Epstein’s Caribbean island and his other lavish properties in New York, Florida and New Mexico.
