Anil Ambani is one of the latest Indians who has found himself in the newest set of the Epstein files, which has left the internet shocked and disgusted.
The latest tranche of three million files related to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—which was released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on January 30—includes lewd conversations with Ambani between 2017 and 2019.
“K. Who do u suggest,” Ambani wrote in one message dated March 9, 2017, as part of their conversation about US-India politics.
“A tall swedish blonde woman, to make it fun to visit,” he responded, instantly changing the tone of the conversation, to which Ambani responded (in less than 20 seconds): "Arrange that."
The two then briefly talked about Ambani's "taste" in women, when the businessman boasted that he had "better taste" than Meryl Streep (whom Epstein had suggested). He claimed he was casting Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson in his next film.
"I am glad you prefer young blondes to old ones ... I had some guests here with unusual tastes. We laughed for hours about what they like as opposed to me," Epstein wrote later.
The two men talked about world affairs, business and women, and had even made plans to meet in person, which did not work out. In 2017, Epstein had also placed orders for several books about the Ambani family.
Yet, the two met at the sex offender's home in the Upper East Side of Manhattan on May 23, 2019 after the latter invited him, also saying that he could arrange for Ambani to meet some people "quietly", if needed. Their assistants confirmed that the meeting took place.
Anil Ambani is currently facing a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his involvement in an alleged bank loan fraud worth thousands of crores.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday has also asked that the probe be sped up, to make sure the case is investigated properly, and to prevent Ambani's escape.
