Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's 'Madame', pays 25 million to come home for Christmas

Almost 25 million euros to go home for Christmas.

That is the amount that the British Ghislaine Maxwell will pay in the next few days to be able to leave for a few days the jail in Brooklyn, New York, where she has been locked up since she was arrested on July 2.

Maxwell, who has been considered the

of Jeffrey Epstein, the pedophile tycoon who committed suicide in prison in July 2019, is in provisional prison awaiting trial, accused of managing the network of minors that Epstein abused and of recruit young women.

The hearing to decide the 58-year-old Maxwell's release or conviction is set for July 2021, but his lawyers and family are trying to get him home in the next few days.

That is why her husband, Scott Borgerson, 44, intends to pay 30 million dollars (24.75 million euros).

He will contribute 25 of those millions and Maxwell's brothers the other five.

Kevin and Ian Maxwell are, like Ghislaine, children of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, who died mysteriously in November 1991 in Atlantic waters off the Canary Islands after falling into the sea.

Maxwell's confinement seems to be especially affecting her husband, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, and hence he wants to spend a few days with her.

In addition to Christmas, Maxwell's departure would coincide with his 59th birthday, on December 25.

The family's intention is that their lawyers deposit those almost 25 million before a federal judge in New York in the next few days, according to the

.

Until his arrest, Maxwell was not known to have a partner, was married or almost any aspect of his life.

Upon being arrested, she refused to give her husband's name, but over the months, it has become known that he is Scott Borgerson, who is co-founder and has presided over the company CargoMetrics Technologies, specialized in the analysis of data on global shipments, according to its LinkedIn page.

According to the

newspaper specialized in economics

,

The company was valued at $ 100 million in 2016. Precisely in July, Borgerson decided to step down as CEO of the company.

Apparently, the couple met during talks about ocean conservation, a topic they both follow with interest, a tango they attended an assembly in the Arctic Circle held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2014. It was then that Borgerson decided to leave his then wife, with whom he shares two children, by Maxwell.

When Maxwell was arrested, he was in the home he owns in New Hampshire, valued at more than a million dollars.

However, the couple share another large property in the town of Manchester by the sea, in Massachusetts, valued at three million.

This is where they would probably both spend the Christmas holidays.

The inmate, born in Paris, has a French passport, and there is no extradition treaty between the United States and France.

According to the

, Maxwell would have to deposit his passports, both the French and the United Kingdom and the United States, to prevent a possible escape, and would also have to carry an electronic tracking device and be in home confinement.

Friends and relatives of the detainee have repeatedly complained that Maxwell is being "demonized" and treated unfairly, that she is in a tiny cell, and that she has lost a great deal of hair and weight;

so much so that they fear possible suicide.

The detainee is accused of six crimes: inciting minors to travel to participate in sexual acts, transporting minors for the purpose of sexual intercourse, two crimes of conspiracy and another two of perjury.

According to the grand jury, Maxwell would have obtained minors for Epstein on at least three occasions between 1994 and 1997, and he was present while the millionaire carried out some of those abuses.
