Archives declassified by the United States Department of Justice mention Argentina and a local business group in the context of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Journalist Camila Dolabjian analyzed the records in a special segment on Radio Rivadavia, exposing commercial exchanges between the financier's circle and the Faena Group, with three specific episodes dated 2012, 2016, and 2018. The first reference dates back to October 25, 2012. There, a "special offer from our friends at Faena Rose" was promoted, a unit linked to the Faena Group dedicated to event organization. The second contact point is from July 17, 2018. In this case, the financier received a newsletter-type email from the Core Club, an exclusive membership institution funded by him. According to the report, the records allow reconstructing "business negotiations, alliances for exclusive events, and attempts at real estate acquisition," without implying criminal activity by the mentioned Argentine group. The third episode corresponds to 2016 and refers to the financier's interest in acquiring properties in the Faena House building in Miami. Brunel, who was arrested in Paris in 2020 on charges of sexual exploitation and later found dead in his cell, appears as an intermediary in the negotiation.
