The settlement is related to victims who said they were “sexually assaulted or abused or trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein between January 1, 1995, and through August 10, 2019,” the date of the disgraced financier’s death in prison, the proposed plan said.
The call to file complaints and give evidence follows the latest cache of millions of files released last month by the US Justice Department from the investigation into Epstein, who died in prison in 2019.
Dubai’s DP World named a new chairman and chief executive officer on Friday, replacing its former leader Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, after the Epstein files revealed frequent correspondence between him and the convicted sex offender.
The firm’s general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler had courted intense scrutiny after the Department of Justice dumped emails in recent weeks that showed her extensive relationship with the disgraced financier.
In the August 2009 email, Ferguson profusely thanked Epstein, referring to multiple business opportunities arising for her company “Mother Army” after he held a “lunch” meeting.
