SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 20, 2023 | SaltWireNEW YORK - Deutsche Bank on Friday won final approval from a U.S. judge for a $75 million settlement it reached with victims of Jeffrey Epstein who had accused the German company of facilitating the late financier's alleged sex trafficking.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who granted preliminary approval for the deal in June, signed off on the settlement during a court hearing in Manhattan. The settlement covers women who have said they were sexually abused or trafficked by Epstein or his associates from Aug. 19, 2013, until his death in a Manhattan jail six years later as he awaited trial on criminal charges that he trafficked young women and teenage girls for sex.The lawsuit was led by a woman known as Jane Doe 1, who said Epstein sexually abused her from 2003 to 2018 and accused Deutsche Bank of missing red flags of his abuses.
JPMorgan was also sued by the U.S. Virgin Islands - where Epstein owned two private islands - over claims that the bank aided Epstein. JPMorgan last month agreed to pay $75 million to settle those claims.
