Epstein’s former girlfriend Nadia Marcinko worked with feds in exchange for US visa help
Nadia Marcinko — the Slovak model turned pilot of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous Lolita Express — reportedly provided information on Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for assistance in obtaining a US visa, according to documents released by the Department of Justice.
Marcinko, now 40, has been a mysterious figure in the Epstein scandal. She was named as a co-conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 Florida non-prosecution deal, where he pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges instead of sex trafficking minors.
Her lawyers have maintained that Marcinko was also a victim in this situation.
A letter from federal agents in 2022 confirms that Marcinko cooperated with the FBI between 2018 and 2022, providing information on Epstein and Maxwell. In return for her cooperation, her lawyers sought assistance from President Biden’s FBI to extend her stay in the US when her visa expired in 2022.
According to the documents, Marcinko was deemed a victim of human trafficking by the FBI, making it unsafe for her to return to Slovakia for fear of retaliation. She was recruited and harbored by Epstein and others for coercive sexual relationships.
It is believed that Marcinko first arrived in the US in the early 2000s through Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel’s modeling agency. She later obtained her pilot’s license in the early 2010s and flew Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express, which prosecutors allege was used to transport sex-trafficking victims to Epstein’s private island.
Marcinko also started her own aviation company, Aviloop, with financial backing from Epstein in 2011. Through this business venture, she was able to remain in the US after her modeling visa was not renewed in 2011.
Emails between Marcinko and Epstein reveal a manipulative relationship, where Epstein criticized her for not recruiting young girls for him. Despite attempting to leave Epstein in 2010, they continued to communicate until 2018, the same year she began cooperating with federal authorities.
Marcinko was accused in court documents of participating in sex acts with minors to satisfy Epstein’s desires, but she was never charged.
Her lawyers have chosen not to comment on the matter.
