Philippa Sigl-Glockner, who once served as private secretary to former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has been mentioned in documents linked to convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The publicly released documents reveal references to Sigl-Glockner, who was Scholz’s private secretary while he served as Germany’s finance minister.
One redacted message to Epstein reportedly states: "You may also remember one of my wonderful young staff members. Philippa completed her master’s degree in computer science, joined the super-elite German intelligence service, and was assigned to the ministry of finance to track money flows."
Another document shows that information from Sigl-Glockner’s work on African telecommunications systems was passed on to Epstein.
Sigl-Glockner, now president of the European Macro Policy Network (EMPN), held her role as Scholz’s private secretary from May 2019 to Nov. 2020.
Scholz later served as Germany’s chancellor from 2021 to 2025.
On Jan. 30, the US Justice Department released more than 3 million pages of documents, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law last November.
Those materials include grand jury transcripts and investigative records, though many pages remain heavily redacted. Epstein survivors and victims’ relatives say the disclosure falls short of what the law requires and omits vital information.
Authorities found Epstein dead by suicide in a New York City jail in 2019 while he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving underage girls.
