Leonardo DiCaprio sought part-time opportunities in Russia and China.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's name appears in new Jeffrey Epstein case documents.

The name of Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio features in the latest batch of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of investigations related to financier Jeffrey Epstein. These are working papers that continue to be made public by court order, shedding light on the business and social contacts of Epstein and his associates.

The documents are part of a massive trove, comprising millions of files declassified in recent weeks. One of them contains a 2009 email addressed to Epstein by former UK cabinet minister and diplomat Peter Mandelson. The correspondence concerned potential international commercial projects and advertising contracts.

DiCaprio mentioned in business correspondence.
In the email, Mandelson inquires whether Epstein could help find foreign advertisers for Leonardo DiCaprio. The text discusses potential partners in India, China, Japan, and a number of other countries, including Russia. It refers to potential advertising campaigns, including for automotive brands not focused on the American market. As the email suggests, the actor was at that time specifically considering non-American commercial offers for supplementary income.

No accusations against the actor.
It is important to note that Leonardo DiCaprio is not accused of any wrongdoing in the Jeffrey Epstein case. His name appears in the documents solely in the context of third-party correspondence and discussions of potential business contacts. The actor has been mentioned previously in the investigation materials, typically referencing Epstein's own claims of being acquainted with famous figures from the entertainment industry.

Context of the investigation.
Last week, over three million documents related to the multi-year federal investigations into Epstein's activities were declassified in the U.S. The financier was arrested in 2019 on charges of sex trafficking and died in a New York jail while awaiting trial. The ongoing release of archival material continues to generate significant public resonance, as it contains the names of politicians, businessmen, and entertainment figures from around the world.
