Nadia Marcinkova

Nadia Marcinkova was brought to the United States from the former Yugoslavia by Jeffrey Epstein when she was a teenager. According to court filings and victim statements cited in reporting by the Miami Herald and other outlets, Epstein reportedly acquired her from her family.

Role in Epstein’s Operation

Multiple victims described Marcinkova’s involvement in sexual abuse in sworn depositions taken as part of civil litigation. According to court filings:

• Victims stated Marcinkova participated in sexual encounters with Epstein and underage girls
• She was described in police reports as being present during abuse at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence
• The Palm Beach Police Department investigation identified her as a person of interest

Marcinkova’s own status — brought to the U.S. as a minor by Epstein — has been described by legal commentators as reflecting a dual role: both a potential victim of trafficking and an alleged participant in abuse of others.

The 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement

Marcinkova was one of four named potential co-conspirators who received immunity under the 2008 federal plea deal negotiated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. The blanket immunity prevented federal prosecution for any crimes related to Epstein’s trafficking operation.

Later Life

Marcinkova later changed her name to Nadia Marcinko and obtained a commercial pilot license. She founded a charter aviation company and marketed herself as “Global Girl,” building a social media presence around aviation. She has not made substantive public statements about her history with Epstein.

What Is Established

Marcinkova was named as a potential co-conspirator by federal prosecutors. Victim statements describe her participation in abuse. She was brought to the U.S. by Epstein as a minor. She received immunity under the 2008 deal and has never been charged. The question of whether she was primarily a victim or a facilitator — or both — has never been resolved in court.
