Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, isn’t giving up hope. According to media reports, she wants to fight for her freedom with the lawyers of convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
Earlier in January, “” reported that Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, had contacted the attorneys for convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein to appeal her sentence. However, her project failed for a long time due to a lack of financial resources, reports the “” because Maxwell’s husband at the time refused to pay her the required money from a trust fund. It is said that Maxwell has now solved this problem through a divorce.
Divorce frees up cash for Ghislaine Maxwell
Accordingly, Ghislaine Maxwell was able to come to an agreement with Scott Borgerson after years of argument. about the divorce came up more than two years ago, when it was first announced that Maxwell had been married to Borgerson, a US entrepreneur who was previously largely unknown to the public, since 2016. A source close to the family told the Daily Mail that Maxwell and her lawyers are now hopeful they can appeal the 20-year sentence.
It is said Maxwell placed £20million in a trust fund shortly before her arrest and left control of it to her then-husband. Shortly thereafter, he ended the relationship by phone while Maxwell was awaiting trial in New York prison. According to the report, allegations soon followed that he was trying to force better terms in the divorce, which Borgerson later denied.
This created a difficult situation for Maxwell, because the convict urgently needed money after the guilty verdict. It is said to have been around one million US dollars just for the initiation of the appeals process. Outstanding legal fees would have further increased the cost pressure.
Lawyer focuses on procedural errors
According to the “Daily Mail”, the divorce agreement that has now been concluded provides for Maxwell to have around 10 million US dollars at his disposal. She now wants to put that into the upcoming proceedings and be represented by Arthur L. Aidala, among others, who spoke to “” in January that Maxwell had been treated badly during her detention and that the investigating judge had made mistakes.
It is said that these are also the main arguments for the upcoming appointment. Aidala wants to clarify “whether the judge who decided the case made the right legal decision.” The appeal currently comprises 30 pages and 22,000 words, writes the “Daily Mail”. The lawyers are now busy until February 28 to shorten it to the legal length for American courts.
The state then has three months to respond. Maxwell’s attorneys are then given another month to formulate an answer. Only then should there be further hearings. The “Daily Mail” says that the dates could be between July and September.
