Harvey Weinstein is being filmed round-the-clock in prison to ensure he doesn't die in custody like Jeffrey Epstein

Monday, November 23, 2020 NEWS No Comments

Harvey Weinstein is being filmed round-the-clock in prison to ensure he doesn't go the way of Jeffrey Epstein.

 

The former movie executive has cameras recording his every move behind bars.

 

TMZ quotes law enforcement sources as saying a correctional officer is assigned to follow Weinstein anytime he's on the move from within Wende Correctional Facility in upstate NY.

 

Aside from the regular surveillance cameras that might be fixated on Harvey Weinstein at any given time, whichever guard is assigned to shadow him for the day has a camera on him at eye-level too.

 

State prison officials are doing this to tamp down any conspiracy theories that might arise if things go south. They are also looking to protect themselves from criminal liability because if there's enough visual evidence, nobody can accuse them of messing up like the Epstein guards allegedly did.

 

Convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his cell and there are conspiracy theories he didn't commit suicide but was eliminated.

 

See graphic photos of Epstein when he was found dead below...

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Weinstein is in frail health and there were concerns last week he may have had COVID, but he tested negative.

Minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has stated that there is need to to go after the hoodlums responsible for burning of the Nigerian Ports Authority Headquarters in Lagos. 

 

Speaking during a visit to the facility on Sunday November 22, the former Governor of Rivers state admitted that protests are legitimate but condemned those who hide under the guise of demonstrations to destroy public and private properties.

 

Amaechi tweeted; 

 

“We toured the H/Q today & it wasn’t a good sight. If people are arrested for the crime perpetrated, they will not do it again. We have to go after the hoodlums & ensure they pay. 

“The right to protest is defined in the laws of the land, it doesn’t include burning people’s private houses and public assets that belong to every Nigerian."

 

 

Amaechi also described the damage as disastrous as he recalled being part of protests as a student. He however noted that they did not take the laws into their hands during those demonstrations.

 

He added; 

 

“If you remember in 1983, during the time of Babangida and Buhari, we were always on the streets as students, we never took laws into our hands and we never destroyed people’s property."

 

The Minister also asked NPA's management to come to the cabinet and ask for funds for the reconstruction of its headquarters.
