Epstein's former Lolita Express pilot-girlfriend worked with feds in exchange for US visa help: DOJ files

https://nypost.com/2026/02/28/us-news/epsteins-former-pilot-girlfriend-cooperated-with-feds-in-exchange-for-help-with-us-visa/

Nadia Marcinko — the Slovak model turned pilot of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous Lolita Express — snitched on the disgraced financier in exchange for help getting a US visa, files released by the Department of Justice reveal.

Marcinko, now 40, was one of the named co-conspirators in the pedophile’s 2008 Florida “sweetheart” non-prosecution deal, which saw him plead guilty to state prostitution charges instead of sex trafficking minors.

A 2022 letter from federal agents, included in the files, confirms for the first time Marcinko provided information on both Epstein and his madam Ghislaine Maxwell between 2018 and 2022.

Marcinko “participated in several telephonic and in person meetings with our office concerning our investigation of criminal charges against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” wrote Amanda Young, a special agent with the FBI’s child exploitation and human trafficking division.

Regarding Nadia


Palm Beach police reports from 2005–2006 already describe her as actively involved in Epstein's abuse network (she was at least 20 yo at the time), with Epstein instructing her to participate in sex acts with recruited victims.

She was one of the four Epstein accomplices (along with Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff) given immunity in Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement.

Whether she regularly piloted Epstein's plane vs. rode on it as a companion/associate is genuinely disputed in the record; the Independent noted in 2024 that "it is still not known if Marcinkova ever piloted the plane" in an official capacity, though video evidence of her at the controls does exist


Small point of fact here Epstein's actual pilots, under oath, in the federal criminal trial against Maxwell, as FEDERAL WITNESSES, stated flat out they never transported anyone who appeared to be an unaccompanied minor on Epstein's plane, EVER. Also importantly IMHO, no victims afterward , including the 4 then-minors who testified, came out and publicly claimed these pilots were lying/that they actually HAD been on the plane as minors.

When I judge evidence quality, people under oath, in a criminal trial, *testifying against Maxwell for the Federal Government*, in a trial watched by the entire WORLD, and NOT disputed by victims publicly, should be rightly considered to be among the highest quality sort that we have. I'll leave it at that.
