File 84 - Interpol Failures: Why International Law Couldn't Stop Him
Description
This episode examines why international law enforcement mechanisms failed to stop Epstein despite his crimes spanning multiple countries and jurisdictions. It investigates the structural limitations of international cooperation in sex trafficking cases and how Epstein exploited jurisdictional gaps. The thesis is that the international legal framework for combating sex trafficking is structurally inadequate, and that wealthy offenders can exploit jurisdictional complexity to evade accountability in ways that less privileged offenders cannot.
