Alberto Pinto appears in the Epstein files primarily as a French interior decorator who worked on Epstein's properties, including his island and New York residences. He is also listed as a passenger on 13 of Epstein's private flights between 1998-2002.

Pinto appears in two distinct contexts: as a passenger on flight manifests spanning 1998-2002, and as a decorator referenced in documents describing Epstein's lavish properties. Court exhibits describe him as 'the French decorator Alberto Pinto, who has worked for Jacques Chirac and the royal families of Jordan and Saudi Arabia.' An email from 2016 shows communication between Jeffrey Epstein and Linda Pinto of 'Cabinet Alberto Pinto' regarding what appears to be a payment request. One deposition mentions a trip to Marrakesh specifically to view a house at Pinto's recommendation, indicating he served as a design consultant for Epstein's real estate acquisitions.
