Ghislaine Maxwell, the ex-collaborator of financial deceased Jeffrey Epstein arrested last week in the United States for trafficking of minor girls, should appear for the first time in front of a federal judge in new york Friday, July 10, 2020. After having consulted the lawyer of the daughter of the ex-magnate, british Robert Maxwell, the federal prosecutors in Manhattan have asked that this first hearing to be held on July 10, according to a document registered with the court. At that hearing, prosecutors should insist that this figure of the jet-set 58-year-old remain in detention, without the possibility of release on bail.

The property of some 60 hectares, where it has been arrested Thursday in New Hampshire, in the northeast of the United States, nearly a year after the suicide in prison of Jeffrey Epstein, has been acquired in cash by a company-screen end of 2019.
