Summary
This email discusses the PEP (Politically Exposed Person) status of Jeffrey Epstein at Deutsche Bank and whether he should be formally escalated as a PEP due to his relationships with Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton. The email chain concludes that Epstein should be treated as a Relative or Close Associate (RCA) of a PEP and that clients where he is a UBO should be risk-rated as 'High'.

Notable Quotes 2
I agree with your assessment that Mr. Epstein should be treated as a RCA. Hence, all clients where he is UBO or has a significant controlling role should be automatically risk rated "High"
Although the PEP status was factored into the prior risk calculator, the client was never formally escalated as a PEP.
Red Flags 2
- Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, and their reported use of his private jet, raise concerns about potential reputational and legal risks for Deutsche Bank.
- The fact that Epstein was treated as an honorary PEP but never formally escalated suggests a potential lapse in compliance procedures.
