The media reported on the presence of information about Bill Gates in Epstein's files.

New materials in the case of American financier Jeffrey Epstein contain allegations about Microsoft founder Bill Gates' connections with "girls of Russian origin." This was reported on January 30 by The Daily Telegraph newspaper with reference to the published documents.

It is clarified that in letters sent to himself in 2013, Epstein criticized Gates, claiming that the billionaire had contracted a sexual infection after allegedly having affairs with "girls from Russia" and asked for help hiding this from his then-wife Melinda Gates.

The Microsoft founder has repeatedly denied having a business or friendly partnership with Epstein. According to reports, his relationship with the financier caused Melinda Gates concern and could have been one of the factors leading to their divorce in 2021.
