PETALING JAYA – Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has denied any links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein
“Just today, I found out that some outsider wanted to meet and even ‘dropped’ my name in an e-mail linked to the Epstein case,” he said in a brief Facebook post on Feb 1.
“Thank Allah, as mentioned in that e-mail, it’s been more than a decade, and I have absolutely no connection whatsoever with any of the parties exchanging those e-mails – especially Epstein.”
