Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend's lawyers will argue she should be released on $5 million bail with electronic monitoring.
During a security sweep of the house agents found a mobile phone wrapped in tin foil on a desk which they said was"a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection, not by the press or public, which of course would have no ability to trace her phone or intercept her communications, but by law enforcement".
The only other person at the property at the time of Maxwell's arrest was a private security guard who told the FBI Maxwell's"brother had hired a security company staffed with former members of the British military to guard the defendant" at the house on rotation, the court filing said.It also emerged that at least one of Epstein's victims, and possibly more, will tell a judge at a hearing on Tuesday that Ms Maxwell should be denied bail.
Her lawyers will argue she should be released on $5m bail with electronic monitoring as they said she is being made a scapegoat after Epstein killed himself in jail last August.Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on a pheasant shoot with Prince Andrew in Sandringham, Norfolk.

Prosecutors allege Maxwell played a central role in facilitating Epstein's crimes and she contributed to"sexual exploitation that caused deep and lasting harm to vulnerable victims". Maxwell last week said she"vigorously denies the charges" and intends to fight them, her lawyers also argue that she is protected by a plea agreement Epstein struck in 2007 in Miami, which covered"any potential co-conspirators."
