Belarusian modeling director denies ties to Jeffrey Epstein's shadowy records

Belarusian modelling agency director Olga Gancharava has addressed claims linking her business to Jeffrey Epstein's files. She expressed confusion over why her firm's correspondence appeared in the disgraced financier's records. Gancharava firmly denied any involvement with Epstein's activities.

Gancharava stated she had no knowledge of individuals connected to Epstein's operations. She found it baffling that routine business emails with the Mademoiselle modelling agency in Paris were included in Epstein's documents. The director emphasised that neither she nor her agency had ties to Epstein's dealings.

All models working abroad through her agency comply with Belarusian regulations. Employment is arranged either under official licences or through overseas work permits. Contracts for foreign assignments are formally registered with the Citizenship and Migration Department of the Minsk City Executive Committee.

No official records detail the exact number of Belarusian models placed with international agencies, such as those in Paris, between 2010 and 2019. The lack of public data makes it difficult to verify broader industry connections during that period.

Gancharava's statements clarify her agency's position on the matter. The inclusion of her correspondence in Epstein's files remains unexplained. Meanwhile, Belarusian modelling contracts continue to follow legal procedures for overseas employment.
