Thames Valley Police previously said the force was reviewing allegations that a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Andrew, and claims he shared sensitive information with Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

About the Epstein files

The Jeffrey Epstein files are a large, partially released collection of more than 300 gigabytes of evidence, court documents, flight logs and emails detailing the child sexual activities of American financier Jeffrey Epstein.

They include what is known as the “Little Black Book” of contacts, as well as court filings that identify numerous high-profile politicians, celebrities and business leaders connected to his social circle.

The documents contain, among other things, testimonies, flight logs for his private planes and his contact book.

The files were reportedly compiled as evidence in criminal cases against Epstein and some of his high-profile associates.

The document contains photos and videos released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in late 2025.

The files cover decades of investigations into Epstein’s criminal enterprise and his death in federal custody in 2019.

Guru goes international through Epstein files

YEN.com.gh reported that Ghanaian rapper Guru found himself in the middle of international controversy after his classic hit song "Alkayida Boys Abre" featured in a recently released video connected to the Epstein files made public by the US Department of Justice.

In the now-viral footage, Epstein and a group of his associates are captured during a visit to what looks like a wilderness-style zoo.

Sitting inside an open safari vehicle, the group appears relaxed and carefree as Guru’s song plays in the background.

They were captured vibing to the track, singing along and enjoying every moment.

A song that once echoed through Ghanaian streets and parties is suddenly heard playing in a zoo halfway across the world, with a group of white foreigners confidently chanting the lyrics.

The cultural contrast alone has made the video impossible to ignore and has sparked endless reactions online.
