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

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.

The Eastern European beauty has been one of the most elusive characters of the Epstein affair.

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.

Her lawyers have insisted Marcinko was a victim herself.

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.

In exchange for snitching, her lawyers sought the help of President Biden’s FBI to allow her to stay in the country in 2022, when her visa ran out.

Marcinko “cooperated extensively” and was “working on her healing and finally trying to put all of this behind her,” her lawyer insisted in the exchange.

“She is finally trying to have a somewhat normal life. We really appreciate your continued help and support,” wrote her lawyer Erica Dubno in an email to FBI’s Young.

Marcinko was a human trafficking victim, the FBI wrote in its letter to immigration authorities, urging that she could not return to her native Slovakia for fear of retaliation for speaking to the feds, the files show.

She “was recruited, harbored and obtained by Jeffrey Epstein and others for purposes of a coercive sexual relationship,” Young wrote in a declaration to US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Marcinko is thought to have been brought to the US in the early 2000s, first obtaining a visa through Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel’s modeling agency.

In emails she wrote to Epstein, reviewed by The Post, Marcinko reveals she started having sex with the creep in 2003, when she was 18. But some of the West Palm Beach victims have told law enforcement they were made to have sex with Marcinko as early as 2002, when both they and Marcinko were underage.

The exact year Marcinko arrived in the US is unknown.

The emails paint a picture of a manipulative relationship between the bombshell blond and Epstein, where she sought to be his girlfriend, while he complained about her efforts to recruit other young girls for him.

“As opposed to learning to have fun fishing for girls, your focus was how ‘disgusting’ the bait is,” Epstein raged in a 2006 email to Marcinko, when she was 21.

“You return from Europe, where you had totally free time, empty handed,” he complained, in an apparent reference to her failure to procure girls for him.

“You tell me you will dance, and don’t. . . . you tell me you will do fun sex things, and don’t. . . . As opposed to you saying ‘Jeffrey, I don’t want to dance, but I love you and will try’ so that there is a real effort. . . . Instead it’s no. no. no,” he griped on a different occasion.

Marcinko attempted to leave Epstein around 2010 and get her own apartment, according to the emails.

“I wanted to have a life with you as a partner. . . . I had the rest of my life planned with you and I was fully invested in our relationship. That was a fantasy and we couldn’t make it work,” she wrote. “I feel sick thinking about my future with you shattering.”

But they kept talking and it was around that time she got her pilot’s license and began flying Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express, which prosecutors have alleged he used to shuttle his sex-trafficking victims around the globe, including to his twisted “pedophile island.”

She also started an aviation company in 2011, Aviloop, with the financial backing of Epstein.

“Website is cool,” Epstein wrote in an email to Marcinko about the business that year. “Mix of porn, Groupon and flying. The marketing campaign could be ‘buy with us — WE give a flying f–k.’”

That business is what allowed Marcinko to remain in the US after Brunel’s agency refused to renew her modeling visa in 2011, when she was 26, the emails show.

Epstein and Marcinko stopped communicating in 2018, according to the emails, the same year she started speaking to the feds. Her lawyers reached out to the FBI for help after her investor visa ran out in 2021, the documents show.

Marcinko was accused in Florida court documents of participating in sex acts with minors to “satisfy Epstein’s criminal sexual desires.” She was never charged.

Her lawyers declined to comment.
