Recent scrutiny of the fully released Epstein Library from the U.S. Department of Justice has uncovered multiple references to Belize within the extensive document trove. While an initial keyword search yields 156 results, a deeper examination reveals that the vast majority represent duplicate documents, tangential market research, or incidental mentions rather than substantive connections to Jeffrey Epstein himself.
Upon filtering out these peripheral references, the number of meaningful Belize-related entries diminishes considerably. However, several notable exchanges remain that connect the Central American nation to Epstein’s network of financial and political associates.
One particularly significant communication dates to 2017, when an individual identified as ‘Alford’ emailed Epstein regarding Belize’s emerging real estate market, explicitly describing the country as a ‘great tax shelter.’ Epstein responded with apparent interest, noting: ‘Thx, I will; I’ll be back around the 20th.’
Additional Belize mentions within the archive involve Epstein’s business partners and his final girlfriend, who exchanged messages about vacation plans to the country. These communications consistently maintained a positive tone regarding Belize.
The document release, which occurred on January 30th under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, comprises millions of pages, images, and videos that name numerous prominent figures including Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk. Authorities have emphasized that appearance in the files does not indicate wrongdoing, and many named individuals have denied any involvement. Some lawmakers continue to argue that the administration has not fully complied with document disclosure requirements.
