DEUTSCHE Bank continued to provide services for Jeffrey Epstein after telling the disgraced financier it would end the relationship in late 2018, only closing all his accounts after his arrest in July 2019, U.S. Department of Justice files show.

Among the services Deutsche provided to Epstein after the German bank told him it would cut its ties was quickly arranging an order made on April 9, 2019, for €50,000 ($59,300) in cash in “large bills” ahead of a trip to Europe, the documents show.
