Polish authorities said Wednesday they will comb through newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein to search for any Polish victims and consider whether the late U.S. financier had ties to Russian intelligence, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing underage girls, left behind more than three million pages of material that the U.S. Department of Justice released last week.
Speaking after a government meeting, Tusk said the files must be examined carefully “to seek any potential Polish victims.”
“We cannot allow that any of the cases involving abuse of Polish children by the network of pedophiles and the organizer of this satanic circle, Mr. Epstein, be treated lightly,” he said.
Tusk cited references in the released documents to individuals in Kraków who told Epstein they had a group of “women or girls” for him. “There are more such leads,” he said.
The prime minister said Poland will form an analytical team led by the justice minister and the minister responsible for secret services to review the materials. If the analysis provides grounds, a formal investigation will follow, and Warsaw may request additional documents from U.S. authorities.
In addition to identifying possible victims, Tusk said the government will explore whether Epstein had links to Russian intelligence, though he did not present specific evidence of such ties.
“So far, there are over 1,000 documents among those published which directly concern Vladimir Putin,” he said, without detailing their content.
Tusk framed the effort as a matter of national security, and he signaled that Poland might work with international partners as the review proceeds.
There has been no official response so far from Russian authorities to Tusk’s comments.
A reaction from Moscow came via social media from Kirill Dmitriev, a special envoy to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He dismissed what he described as “desperate, depraved, lying leftist elites panic and try to misdirect” in response to Tusk’s remarks. “The world is tired of your lies and sees through them,” Dmitriev wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The review joins parallel inquiries by other European countries into aspects of the Epstein files. Latvia and Lithuania have said they will also examine the documents for domestic implications.
