According to a report by Bloomberg, the documents include chat records and emails exchanged between Epstein and Ambani between 2017 and 2019. The conversations reportedly covered a range of subjects, including business matters, international events and personal discussions. One exchange dated March 9, 2017, has attracted particular attention. In that message thread, Epstein allegedly suggested inviting “a tall Swedish blonde woman” to make a meeting “fun,” to which Ambani is reported to have replied, “Arrange it.” The authenticity of the messages has not been independently verified in court.
The exchanges occurred years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, a fact that has intensified questions about why prominent figures continued to associate with him. Records cited in the report suggest that Epstein and Ambani discussed possible meetings in Paris and New York and that Epstein invited Ambani to his Manhattan residence during the latter’s visit to New York in May 2019.
Additional emails referenced in the files indicate discussions around global travel, business engagements and high-profile events, including the World Economic Forum. In one chat, Epstein allegedly asked Ambani about his favourite actress, to which Ambani reportedly named Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson. At the time, Reliance Entertainment, part of the Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group, had co-produced Johansson’s film Ghost in the Shell.
Epstein was arrested again in July 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges involving minors but died in a New York jail the following month. Authorities ruled his death a suicide, though it triggered widespread controversy and multiple investigations into his associates and enablers.
The newly released files also reference other prominent figures and events connected to Epstein’s social circle, including communications involving Ghislaine Maxwell, his longtime associate who is now serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking-related offences. One email mentions a 2009 after-party hosted by Maxwell in Manhattan following a film event linked to filmmaker Mira Nair.
Anil Ambani’s representatives declined to comment on the contents of the documents, Bloomberg reported. The disclosures do not allege criminal wrongdoing by Ambani, but they add to the growing body of material illustrating Epstein’s sustained access to powerful individuals across business, politics and entertainment.
Legal experts note that the release of such files is likely to fuel further public debate and potential civil scrutiny, even as many of the named individuals have not been accused or charged with crimes.
