The allegation undermines the Duke of York's reasoning to visit the American financier in December 2010, which he said was to break off their friendship. A legal document now filed in the US claims how at the same time, Andrew supposedly requested Epstein's help in securing money for a company called 'Aria Petroleum'. The papers form part of the civil case brought by the US Virgin Islands' against banking giant JP Morgan. The 22-page document, obtained by the Mirror, details Epstein's contact with Jess Staley about the Duke. Attorneys allege the bank was "complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein," saying the sex predator gave high-ranking officials their money, advice and favours in exchange for looking the other way when he trafficked young women to be abused on his island getaway. The Virgin Islands is seeking at least £145 million in damages from JPMorgan over its ties to Epstein, who kept money at the bank from 1998 to 2013, according to a court filing. The billionaire sex offender, who died by jail cell suicide in August 2019, allegedly forwarded a request from Andrew to his private banker Jes Staley on the first of at least five days the Duke spent at his pal's £58 million Manhattan townhouse. The document states: 'On December 2, 2010, Jeffrey Epstein forwards an email to Staley from Prince Andrew with an inquiry the Prince received from Aria Petroleum looking for a $200m (£153 million) working capital line. 'Since the company is based in the US, Prince Andrew appeared to suggest Epstein connect them with a US bank.' The message appears to undermine Andrew's justification for visiting the American in 2010 while raising new questions about his role as){kind=link}
