Video footage of the area around Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell on a day he survived an apparent suicide attempt 'no longer exists,' federal prosecutors told a judge Thursday.
Published Thursday, January 9, 2020 5:16PM EST
The revelation came despite assurances prosecutors made that jail officials were preserving the footage at the request of a defence attorney for Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer who shared a cell with Epstein in July when the wealthy financier was after discovered with bruises on his neck and then placed on suicide watch.
Tartaglione is charged in what prosecutors have described as the "gangland-style" killings of four men who disappeared during a cocaine-related dispute. "The Government further understands from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that it has reviewed that backup system as part of an unrelated investigation and determined that the requested video no longer exists on the backup system and has not since at least August 2019 as a result of technical errors," the prosecutors wrote.
