As BBC writes, in a statement published on Friday, the family announced the death of Virginia Giuffre. The woman died in her home in Western Australia, where she lived with her husband and three children for many years. It was emphasized that she was a “warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and human trafficking” and that she was “a light that helped so many victims.” “Despite all the adversities she encountered in her life, she was shining so bright. We will miss her beyond measure,” it was written.
A statement was also issued by a spokesman for a woman, Dini von Mueffling. He described her as “one of the most unusual people I've ever had the honor to meet.” He emphasized that she was “a lighthouse for other survivors and victims” and “representing her was the privilege of life.”

An investigation was initiated, but according to preliminary findings, her death does not arouse suspicion of the possible participation of third parties.
Who was virginia giuffre
In 2021, Virginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit in New York, in which she accused Prince Andrzej, brother of the British King Charles III, claiming that in 2001, when she was 17, she was sexually used by him. It was to be one of the numerous group of girls who were lured by the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein with the promises of work, and then were offered to his influential friends. Prince Andrzej was to be one of them. This consistently denies this. In March 2022, it was announced that Giuffre and the prince had made an out -of -court settlement.
Giuffre was one of the first people who demanded criminal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein and one of his most prominent accusations.
Three weeks ago Giuffre wrote in social mediathat it is in a very serious condition after a car accident. As she said, the doctors gave her “four days of life”. However, the police reported that there was a “small” collision and “no injuries suffered as a result of the accident.”
