Bill Gates arrived on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a closed-door hearing before a committee of the US Congress that is examining influential people's contacts with Jeffrey Epstein. Upon entering, the Microsoft co-founder said he hopes his testimony will be useful. ANSA ↗
American lawmakers are expected to question Gates about his past ties to Epstein, a convicted sex offender. According to available information, the committee may examine the circumstances of their contacts, the reasons for their meetings, and whether Epstein used his relationships with wealthy and influential people to strengthen his own network. In a separate line of the case, the name of a missing German woman, Michele, has surfaced, of whom there has been no trace for more than ten years. According to German media, her name appeared in files related to Epstein, and photographs of her were reportedly sent to him as well. Spiegel.de ↗
Meanwhile in Norway, Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, reportedly remains in pre-trial detention, according to media reports. Høiby had requested release so that he could be with his gravely ill mother. The lower court was set to allow his release, but the appeals court ruled otherwise. Tagesspiegel ↗
Both cases are proceeding along separate legal tracks. In the US, attention is focused on the extent of Epstein's contacts, while in Norway it centers on the courts' decisions regarding the detention of a member of the broader royal family. Tagesspiegel ↗
