2003 would be a banner year for Epstein
A private soiree in Birmingham UK with Junkermann and 2 unnamed still US Senators that then drug us into Gulf War 2.
So meeting the pope was it for an indulgence or forgiveness?
According to flight records, Epstein used his 'Lolita Express' jet to fly himself and Maxwell from Rome to Madrid on May 20 2003.
They were joined by French model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, pilot Pete Rathgeb and two passengers listed only as 'AM' and 'JK', reports the Sun on Sunday.
Brunel, 75, was charged with rape and sexual assualt of minors last year.
There is no suggestion Rathgeb knew of or was party to illegal activity.
While there is no record of Epstein arriving in Rome, data from the flight records place the former financier in New York on May 12 and again by May 21.
