Sensational details have emerged during the ongoing investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein following the release of yet another batch of declassified documents from the US Department of Justice. According to the investigation, one of the suppliers of girls for the billionaire's infamous parties was the Krasnodar-based Shtorm modeling agency. The department's documents allege that this agency collaborated with Epstein's entities for some time, securing the participation of models in his private events. Notably, Shtorm previously enjoyed an impeccable business reputation and even played an active role in the preparation of large-scale government projects, including the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The uncovered connections sparked widespread public outcry, as the agency's activities had previously been viewed solely in a professional context at a high-level international level. US investigative reports point to a complex network of intermediaries through which interactions with regional modeling schools around the world were facilitated. The Krasnodar company's involvement in Epstein's infrastructure calls into question the recruitment methods used in the fashion industry at the time. Agency officials and Olympic event organizers have not yet provided detailed comments on the published dossiers, but analysts believe these findings could prompt new investigations into the activities of casting centers with connections to high-ranking Western clients.
