We Need To Be Discussing Nicole Junkermann
She appears over 4,000 times in the Epstein files. She called him “baby.” She wanted his child. She has major intelligence connections. Somehow, almost nobody knows her name.

She appears over 4,000 times in the Epstein files. She called him “baby.” She wanted his child. She co-built a surveillance company with an IDF intelligence chief. And somehow, almost nobody knows her name.

The Girl Who Doesn’t Exist

I. THE RULE
A Name That Keeps Appearing
I have a rule I developed. When a name keeps appearing in documents that powerful people want buried, and virtually no one in mainstream media has written about it, that name deserves its own piece. Not a paragraph. Not a mention. A full reckoning.
Nicole Junkermann is one of those names, among many.
She’s in the Epstein files thousands of times yet if you said her name at a dinner party tonight everyone would probably stare at you blankly. That silence whether accidental or by design, is worth looking at.
So, let me tell you what I found on Ms.Nicole Junkermann.
II. THE BACKGROUND
Two Identities, One Woman
She was born in Dusseldorf — records vary between 1975 and 1980 — educated first in Monaco, then at Harvard. She is multilingual, speaks five languages, and effortlessly moves through every room that money opens to her, or rather Epstein opened for her.
She presents herself as an international investor and entrepreneur. Her firm, NJF Capital, is based in Germany. Since her 2017 marriage to Count Ferdinando Maria Brachetti Peretti—heir to an Italian energy fortune—she has also operated publicly as Nicole Brachetti Peretti, primarily in the art world. Two names — two public identities, but what her polished website leaves out is just what the emails reveal.
The oldest published Epstein correspondence involving Junkermann dates to 2009, available through the House Oversight documents — but other evidence suggests they knew each other years before that, possibly even before his first conviction for the prostitution of minors.
III. THE EMAILS
Babies and Business
She called him “baby” and she asked him whether she should get breast surgery and who should perform it. She wrote to him about wanting to have his child. There are multiple emails where she references this directly, including one from June 2010 where she asks him outright where and whether they’d have a baby together. According to the documents available through the file releases, she left a boyfriend to be closer to Epstein, to work for him, to be near him.
Some of the emails, like the one above, are extremely odd.
These aren’t third party allegations. They’re her words, in her emails — logged, numbered, filed.
They met in Paris repeatedly, she literally celebrated when he was released from his first conviction, talked about Monaco, Rome, London. She called him her “heart’s shark” and in 2019, months before his death, Epstein and Junkermann were engaged in arbitration disputes over Chinese business interests. Emails from that period show Epstein focused heavily on those disputes.
Epstein himself once criticized her in writing for not delivering enough “interesting people” to him. NJ’s reply, also documented, didn’t deny the task. It only disputed whether she was pulling her weight — she defended herself, said she was trying to find him “an elegant, well poised, educated young lady” for New York.
The files don’t say whether she found one.

IV. THE FLIGHT
Paris to Birmingham, Alone
Epstein’s flight manifest is a document researchers have combed through for years. The Lolita Express is infamous — Clinton, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Alan Dershowitz, all the regulars we have heard about, but the flight patterns tell you things names alone do not. Epstein had habits, many. He always flew with his entourage, or he flew someone to him. He almost never flew alone with a single passenger who wasn’t part of his immediate circle.
There is one documented exception that stands out.
On August 31, 2002, Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann flew alone together from Paris Le Bourget to Birmingham, UK. No entourage. No additional passengers. They returned two days later.
Junkermann appeared on the manifest three times total. This flight is notable because she was the only passenger.
The purpose of the trip is not documented in the files.

V. THE NETWORK
Palantir, the Rothschilds, and Larry Summers
The emails don’t just document intimacy. They also document deep access. Real access — the kind that takes years to build and many favors to maintain.
Epstein arranged introductions for Junkermann to Bill Gates, Ehud Barak, and Ariana de Rothschild. He connected her to Larry Summers — who wrote her a letter of recommendation for Global Leaders — a network of elite figures across finance, government, and technology. What exactly she needed that letter for is again not specified in the files.
She attended meetings with Palantir, the data intelligence company co-founded by Peter Thiel and deeply embedded in U.S. defense and intelligence contracting. The emails reference the “Palantir boys” and Silicon Valley connections, with Epstein serving as the bridge between Junkermann and that world. He told her he would put in a word with Joi Ito and Reid Hoffman. Epstein told her to call “Woody,” Allen and to tell him it was “important”.
She had lunch with Marina Abramovic in 2014 and suggested Epstein should meet her to which he agreed.
Junkermann was looped into meetings with Boris Nikolic — the former chief scientific advisor to Bill Gates — who was named in Epstein’s own will as a backup executor and who later claimed he “had no idea”. Nikolic appears in Junkermann’s emails through Epstein as early as 2010.
She was present at Valar Ventures meetings — the fund connected to Peter Thiel and the Silicon Valley power structure Epstein was methodically working his dirty way through.
This is not a woman on the edges of a network. The evidence places her at the intersection of finance, technology, intelligence, and power, with Epstein as a key connector of it all.
VI. THE INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION
Ehud Barak, Unit 8200, and Carbyne
Now here’s where this goes somewhere most people haven’t followed.
Junkermann went on to co-found and invest in a company initially called Reporty Homeland Security, later rebranded as Carbyne911, now known simply as Carbyne. It’s described as a “global leader in public safety technology,” a 911 call handling platform that connects emergency callers to first responders using location data, live video, audio, smart car data, and the ability to pinpoint someone indoors to within three feet, including from dropped calls. In a promotional video, Junkermann herself presents the product. Just look at who runs it:
The chairman of Carbyne’s board is Ehud Barak, the 10th Prime Minister of Israel, former Chief of Staff of the IDF, former head of military intelligence, and a man famous for disguising himself as a woman in the 1970s to carry out assassinations of PLO members. Barak has been documented meeting Epstein on multiple occasions, including at his Manhattan townhouse many times. Barak’s ties to Epstein have been raised in Israeli domestic politics.

Another director is Brigadier Pinchas Buchris — former Deputy Commander of elite IDF special operations and former Commander of Unit 8200 — the Israeli military’s cyber intelligence division. Unit 8200 is Israel’s equivalent of the NSA, responsible for signals intelligence, code breaking, and surveillance technology that has been exported commercially around the world through alumni-founded startups. If you want to understand the infrastructure of modern surveillance tech with Israeli state roots, Unit 8200 is where you start.
The founder and CEO of Carbyne is Amir Elichai, a former IDF special forces and intelligence officer. The co-founder and CTO, Alex Dizengof, previously developed machine learning algorithms for robots and cybersecurity software for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office directly.
This is not a tech startup run by idealists — this is a surveillance infrastructure company staffed at the top by active and former Israeli military intelligence figures, selling a product that routes your emergency call data, your location, your live video, and your biometric environment through their platform.
And somehow at its center sits Nicole Junkermann. Epstein associate. Flying alone with a child trafficker to Birmingham in 2002. Calling him “baby” in 2010. Asking him whether she should change her name in 2018.
The through line here is not very subtle — it just requires people to actually look.
VII. THE NHS
Your Medical Records. Her Portfolio.
In late 2018, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock appointed Junkermann to the NHS Healthtech Advisory Board. The board was tasked with guiding how the National Health Service could integrate technology into patient care. Its stated goals were efficiency, innovation, better outcomes — what it also contained was Nicole Junkermann.
Another board member, Parker Moss, was the Chief Business Officer at OWKIN, an AI company sitting inside Junkermann’s own investment portfolio. On June 16, 2019, Junkermann’s NJF Holdings website published an article celebrating the fact that OWKIN had been promised access to NHS patient data for AI drug development research. She was on the board overseeing the policy. Her portfolio company was receiving the benefit of that policy. And the underlying surveillance technology infrastructure she had co-built runs through a firm chaired by a former head of Israeli military intelligence.
Blood types. Chronic conditions. Device serials on wireless pacemakers. Medication histories. Mental health records. The health data of millions of UK citizens, potentially flowing toward a system built by the same network that coordinated with the reprehensible Jeffrey Epstein on joint investments.
Nobody forced her to answer for any of it either.
VIII. THE REST OF IT
FIFA, Panama Papers, and a Scrubbed Record
Junkermann has also appeared in the Panama Papers. She’s connected to a FIFA corruption scandal through her time as Vice Chairman at Infront Sports and Media, the company headed by Philippe Blatter, Sepp Blatter’s nephew, which acquired rights to the 2006 World Cup in Germany and later sold FIFA’s Asian TV rights for 2018 and 2022.
She asked Epstein in a 2018 email whether she should change her name. He responded — the conversation is there in the files. In that same year she married into a noble Italian family and began operating publicly under a different name, again.
Researchers who have been tracking Junkermann for years have noted that negative coverage has steadily disappeared from search results. Articles that existed no longer surface. The name has been kept quiet in a way that other Epstein associates have not been. Whether that’s legal pressure, SEO management, or something more informal is not documented. What is documented is the absence.
IX. WHAT LPF KNOWS AND DOESN’T
Connections Are Not Convictions
Nicole Junkermann has not been charged with anything. She has not been named in any legal proceeding that I’m aware of. The connections I’ve laid out here are documented, sourced to DOJ files and publicly available records, but they are connections, not convictions.
What they are is a pattern clear as day. A woman who appears thousands of times in the files of a convicted child sex trafficker, who called him “baby”, who helped him find candidates for undisclosed positions, who co-built a surveillance company with the former head of Israeli military intelligence, who sat on a government health board while her portfolio company received national patient data, who changed her name multiple times, who has never been asked publicly to account for any of it.
I don’t know exactly what Nicole Junkermann is. I don’t know whether that 2002 Birmingham flight was intelligence work, maybe a romantic weekend to make a baby, a business meeting, or something else entirely. I don’t know whether the Carbyne infrastructure has been used in ways its promotional materials don’t disclose. I don’t know whether the NHS data access led anywhere. But what I do know is that when you follow this thread it doesn’t lead somewhere comfortable. And in any serious investigation, a pattern this dense, this well documented, this deeply connected to the people already under severe scrutiny — would have put her in a deposition room years ago.

And updated peice on this story is coming, I did post an update in my notes also for anyone wanting to follow this lady's -let's all pray- downfall.
Great research and interesting article - as you said all the threads that are tying these same people, the intelligence agencies, powerful well financed families together is mind boggling! Keep chasing and knitting this together, these people have had the privilege of operating in the shadows for too long.
