Khaberni - Files relating to minor sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein revealed that a Saudi businesswoman residing in the UAE gifted him pieces of the Kiswa from the Holy Kaaba.
The correspondence released by the US Department of Justice in the latest batch shows that Aziza Al-Ahmadi, who owns a specialized electronic games company in the UAE, and in collaboration with another person named Abdullah Al-Ma’ari, organized the shipment of 3 pieces of the Kaaba's Kiswa, which is embroidered with pure gold threads, and gifted them to Epstein.
According to the emails, the pieces were flown from Saudi Arabia to Florida, via British Airways, with coordination including invoices and arrangements for customs and delivery inside the United States.
Messages detailed that among the pieces gifted to the sex trafficker involved in sex scandals with senior officials around the world, one was from inside the Holy Kaaba, another from the outer Kiswa, and a third was made but not yet used.
According to the correspondence, the unused piece was classified under an art category to facilitate shipment classification when transported to the United States.
Aziza Al-Ahmadi said in one of the messages: "By the way, the black piece has been touched by at least 10 million Muslims of various sects, from Sunnis and Shia among others, who circulate around the Kaaba seven times, then each tries as much as possible to touch it, and they have placed their prayers, wishes, tears, and hopes on this piece, hoping that all their prayers will be answered afterward."
The shipment arrived at Epstein's home in March 2017, after he had spent a long time in prison and was registered as a sex offender.
The correspondence does not explain how Al-Ahmadi came to know Epstein or the reason for sending these pieces to him.
In another set of messages, Al-Ahmadi was checking on Epstein after Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean in September 2017, where his private island suffered considerable damage.
Over several days, Al-Ahmadi repeatedly contacted Epstein’s secretary to inquire about his safety on the island.
The secretary wrote: "Everyone is fine, and that's the most important thing.. Some of the buildings vanished.. Trees gone wings of the port disappeared roads impassable other external damages, but the inside is fine The situation is chaotic but it’s rebuildable thanks for checking in."
Al-Ahmadi replied: "I promise I'll send a new tent ;)"
The messages do not show whether Al-Ahmadi had visited Epstein’s island at any time or was fully aware of what was happening there.
In another message, Leslie Grov, Epstein’s close assistant, sent Al-Ahmadi a DNA testing kit (DNA), without clarity on its purpose.
Epstein rarely communicated directly with Al-Ahmadi in these correspondences-In one of the messages, Grov asked: "Can I stop by Jeffrey's house today before I leave New York to say goodbye and wish him a happy birthday? I only need 15 minutes."
