WARSAW, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Tuesday the launch of a team to investigate possible Polish links to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The team will be led by Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek. He told a news conference that Epstein-related documents released by U.S. authorities included Polish names and references to Poland.
"We need to find out how deeply the Epstein affair extended into Poland, who may have been involved, whether Polish women were recruited, and whether those involved were adults or minors," Zurek said.
Zurek said Poland intends to seek access to as many documents as possible from the United States, while acknowledging that cooperation may be difficult.
"We know that if something does not concern them directly or affect U.S. security, the Americans are not eager to cooperate," he said.
"We will see what the Americans are prepared to disclose to us, but we will certainly not let this matter drop," he added.
