Canberra appears in the Epstein files primarily as the location of the FBI Legal Attaché office and Australian Federal Police headquarters that coordinated with the FBI's Miami Field Office during the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in March 2011.
The most substantive mentions involve FBI communications routing through the Canberra Legal Attaché (LEGAT) office to coordinate interviews and investigative requests with Australian Federal Police regarding U.S. citizens connected to the Epstein case. Several mentions reference formal complaints filed with Australian National University in Canberra regarding visiting appointments, appearing to relate to academic misconduct allegations. Additional mentions include a reference to a Eugene Kaspersky cybersecurity talk at the Press Club in Canberra, and a 2008 incident involving pro-Tibet protests during the Olympic torch relay in Canberra—both appearing in documents unrelated to the core Epstein investigation.
Key Highlights
- •Primary connection is as the location of FBI's Legal Attaché office coordinating international aspects of the Epstein investigation with Australian Federal Police in March 2011
- •Several documents mention formal complaints filed with Australian National University in Canberra regarding visiting appointments, suggesting academic institutions were notified of allegations
- •Most mentions are administrative references to Canberra as a government/institutional location rather than evidence of Epstein's activities there
