Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome former New York State Assistant Attorney General Reed Brody. As someone who has spent decades holding the powerful to account, from brutal dictators to state officials, he recognises patterns of impunity cloaked in the legal process. In the case of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein’s network, we’re witnessing a carefully protected ecosystem of elite immunity and impunity: the redacted names shielding the rich and powerful, and the stark contrast in accountability between the US and Europe.
