Poland Forms ‘Strike Team’ to Investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s Activities in the Country

Following the release on Friday, January 30, 2026, of millions of new documents by U.S. authorities revealing shocking details about Jeffrey Epstein, Poland has launched an investigation into the American sex offender’s past ties to the country. Epstein, accused of orchestrating a global network exploiting underage girls—and linked to numerous powerful figures—has raised serious concerns in Poland, prompting swift action. Poland’s Minister of Justice, Waldemar Zurek, announced on February 5, 2026, the formation of a specialized task force comprising intelligence service personnel, prosecutors, and police officers. The team will examine potential links between Epstein, his network, and Polish individuals or institutions. Zurek confirmed that Polish authorities have identified two individuals—a Polish man and a Polish woman—connected to Epstein’s circle but declined to provide further details. The task force will assess whether evidence warrants deeper investigations, especially if victims are found in Poland. Though no victims have come forward yet, officials acknowledge the risk of underage exploitation. The group may recommend establishing a formal investigative committee with authority to request classified U.S. documents. Separately, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on February 3, 2026, that Poland will also probe alleged connections between Epstein and Russian intelligence services—a claim met with dismissive sarcasm by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who labeled the allegations ‘not serious.’
