The New York authorities have arrested two guards who were in charge of monitoring the cell where the billionaire accused of sexual abuse of minors Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last August, according to The New York Times .

The newspaper, citing a source with knowledge of the matter, notes that Prison department employees have been arrested on charges related to the breach of their duties and will be formally charged before a Manhattan court.

Epstein, 66, accused of creating a network of child sex trafficking a decade ago in his mansions in New York and Florida, appeared hanged on August 10 inside his cell and the authorities, including the coroner of the city of New York, they concluded that it was suicide .

The tycoon had already tried a month before and had been placed in a suicide prevention program , but his lawyers interceded to be imposed a special status for which he should receive visits every 30 minutes and be accompanied in his cell .

According to the Times , Epstein was not accompanied on the night of his death and the two guards who were in charge of monitoring his cell fell asleep and falsified the records to cover up his mistake, as indicated by several law enforcement officers and prison officials familiar with the case. .

Epstein's death in prison was being investigated by both the FBI and the Department of Justice, so these predictable charges of the guards would be the first results of the investigation.

The sudden death and in strange circumstances of the tycoon made conspiracy theories circulate about his death due to the characters with whom he related, such as former President Bill Clinton (1993-2001), Prince Andrew of England or Donald Trump.

A forensic pathologist hired by Epstein's brother said last month that the evidence suggests that the tycoon did not take his life in his cell, but could have been strangled .
