Poland launches human trafficking probe linked to Epstein network

Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into suspected human trafficking linked to late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after documents released by the US Justice Department indicated victims were allegedly recruited in the country.

The National Prosecutor’s Office said on Wednesday it was probing whether women – including minors and Polish citizens – were recruited in Poland “by misleading them as to the true nature of prospective employment abroad,” before being transported across borders and handed over to others for sexual exploitation. The suspected trafficking occurred between 2009 and 2019.

Warsaw will request information and evidence from two European countries under a European Investigation Order, prosecutors said, as cited by local media. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters the requests will go to France and Sweden.

The Polish probe is part of a widening international fallout from the latest release of millions of Epstein documents, which have triggered criminal investigations, arrests, and resignations across politics, business, and royalty.

Epstein files were allegedly compromised by foreign hacker in 2023; FBI admits ‘cyber incident’

The FBI Field Office in New York produced myriad documents pertaining to its criminal probe into child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in a Feb. 17, 2025, letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein” were stored on site there.

Some of these documents were allegedly compromised in a hack years before the Department of Justice began publishing the heavily redacted Epstein files.

The bureau revealed in 2023 that it was investigating a hack of its computer network, which it characterized as an “isolated incident that has been contained.”

Multiple sources briefed on the matter told CNN at the time that FBI officials suspected the incident involved a bureau computer system used in the investigations of images of child sexual exploitation.

Mysterious Zorro Ranch once owned by Epstein — where girls’ bodies are allegedly buried — is searched by New Mexico authorities

New Mexico authorities on Monday started searching the notorious New Mexico ranch where late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is accused of running a sick “baby-making” operation — and where a staffer once claimed strangled girls are buried.

The New Mexico Department of Justice announced that it started searching Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch on Monday morning at the direction of Attorney General Raúl Torrez, alongside local and state police.

Torrez reopened an investigation into the ranch last month, where the convicted sex offender once entertained guests, 30 miles south of Santa Fe. An original case opened to investigate the secretive outpost was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York.

State prosecutors have since argued that “revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination.”

Although the statement did not specify exactly what revelations were the focus of the search, they include long-running claims that the pervert flew girls there — and allegedly planned to get many pregnant.

Most disturbingly, a document in the Epstein files shows that a staffer once reported that “somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.”

FRENCH CONNECTION: Court Documents Show Epstein Associate Jean-Luc Brunel’s ‘Industrial’ System of Exploitation, With Some Underage Models Trafficked to the US

‘They built/the dark satanic Mills/that manufacture hell on earth’ – Roger Waters/Watching TV

We now have a better idea of how the tentacles of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring spread around the world, and from these places, new revelations are arising nonstop.

A disturbing new chapter in the Epstein saga has now emerged from France, where confidential court documents reveal the scale of abuse orchestrated by model scout (and alleged serial rapist) Jean-Luc Brunel.

Brunel was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, and he met the same fate, found ‘suicided’ in his cell in La Santé prison, in Paris.

The newly released documents show Brunel running an ‘industrial system of exploitation’, even transforming luxury castles and apartments into sites of abuse.

NYC medical examiner hesitated on ruling Epstein’s death a suicide due to so many ‘people wanting to kill’ him

The medical examiner who performed an autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein waited to rule his death a suicide because so many people wanted him dead. 

Dr Kristin Roman’s thoughts on the autopsy came to light after Epstein’s brother hired  Dr Michael Baden, who claimed the billionaire pedophile’s death needs to be reinvestigated as a homicide.

Roman delayed her ruling of suicide in an effort of ‘being thorough,’ a newly-released interview with the Department of Justice revealed. 

She told the DOJ for their investigation into Epstein’s death that the financier’s infamy was the reason the held off on her decision.

‘If he had been a less high-profile person who there weren’t people wanting to kill, I would have probably called it a hanging on the day of autopsy,’ Roman said, in an interview conducted in May of 2022.

‘It was pretty clear cut,’ she said, claiming the death was a suicide. 

She came to her conclusion being able to look at photographs from his cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center following her delay.

However, she was not allowed to speak to any correction officers or visit the cell. She claims that this was not a factor in her decision.

‘It would have been more for completeness rather than a big factor in making the determination.’

‘Was he fully hanging? Where was he hanging? That kind of stuff,’ Roman said of what she was trying to find out. 

Baden said in February that he is unconvinced by the conclusion of the New York Medical Examiner’s Office that the American millionaire took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

He reiterated to Business Insider on Friday that he believes it was a homicide. While the doctor did not carry out the post-mortem himself, he was present during the examination and acted as an observer on behalf of Epstein’s family.

Where Roman and Baden disagree is on a series of fractures in Epstein’s neck which Roman said supports a suicide and are not the breaks you would see on someone who had been strangled. 

Baden, however, said that he’s only seen three fractures in a suicide by hanging in his 25 years working for the city as a medical examiner or in his decades working for the state overseeing prison deaths. 

‘That doesn’t mean it can never happen, but it sure as hell is very rare if it happens,’ he said.

One advantage Roman had was being able to see the nooses found in Epstein’s cell, which Baden did not get to see.

DOJ-Released Picture Shows Disgraced Former Prince Andrew With Trafficking Victim in His Lap, as His Daughter Eugenie Has To Resign From Charity Over Relentless Epstein Scandal

Another week, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal.

By now, having lost all his British royal perks, titles, and honors, having been arrested, currently under investigation, one could imagine that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, exiled in a Sandringham farm, couldn’t care less if yet another compromising picture of him has been released by the US DOJ.

But, in fact, it’s the compounding effect this has on his investigation, and also the consequences being faced by his daughters.

The undated images, small and low resolution, are among the 180,000 photographs released by the DOJ under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

They’re more of a blur, these new photos, but they keep the spotlight on Andrew after a slew of compromising photos and documents destroyed whatever was left of his life.

In the meantime, people around Andrew are also suffering grave reputational damage.

His daughter, Princess Eugenie, had to resign from her role in an anti-slavery charity, as the relentless fallout from the Epstein documents continues.

Page Six reported:

“[She] served for seven years as a patron of Anti-Slavery International.

On Sunday, the princess, 35, stepped away from her role at the world’s oldest human rights organization, the Observer reported.

The charity said in a statement to the outlet, ‘After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end. We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International. We hope that she continues to work to end slavery for good and deliver freedom for everyone’.”

Bombshell: Leaked Files Show Bill Gates Teaming Up With Epstein to Cash In on Pandemics

A discussion between Dr. Drew and researcher Sayer Ji examined allegations surrounding the Epstein Files, focusing on relationships involving Jeffrey Epstein and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, as well as broader claims about financial and philanthropic structures linked to those associations.

The exchange occurred during a conversation in which the two discussed the wider implications of documents and reporting connected to Epstein, whose relationships with prominent figures have been the subject of ongoing scrutiny.

Dr. Drew opened the discussion by referring to what he described as a connection between Epstein and Gates.

“The Epstein gates axis, which I think is a fascinating construct,” Dr. Drew said.

Ji responded by arguing that the significance of the revelations extends beyond the well-known personal scandals associated with Epstein. He said the larger issue involves networks and institutional structures connected to Epstein’s activities.

“There’s a lot of scandal, and there were personal relationships that deserve attention, but it’s really the infrastructure that has been exposed that is most stunning,” Ji said.

Ji continued by describing what he said were business and legal ties between Epstein and Gates, suggesting those relationships were part of a broader framework.

David Copperfield Ends 25-Year Vegas Residency Over His Presence in the ‘Epstein Files – Documents Show FBI Probed His ‘Predilection for Minors’

No ‘Abracadabra’ can make this trouble disappear.

The ‘Epstein curse’ is like s stain that won’t go away, for some people. And in the case of magician David Copperfield, he hasn’t been able to ‘trick’ his way out of trouble.

Last Thursday (5), the entertainer announced that his 25-year residency on the Vegas strip in Sin City was coming to an end.

Los Angeles Magazine reported:

“Among the millions of documents in the Justice Department’s drop of the Epstein files was a slew of FBI memos that mention magician David Copperfield. In one, agents discussed whether Copperfield and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’ and whether they ‘shared a predilection for minors’.

That memo was written in 2007, a year before the billionaire financier cut a sweetheart deal with Florida law enforcement on charges he had sex with underage females. But Copperfield’s name appears extensively in the Epstein files, referenced multiple times in FBI files until Epstein died in 2019 at the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before body found — and made mysterious deposit before pedophile’s suicide: DOJ

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal.

Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his Aug. 10, 2019, suicide.

The guards were fired but criminal charges against both were later dropped.

Noel googled “latest on Epstein in jail” at 5:42 a.m. and then again at 5:52 a.m. — less than 40 minutes before her colleague, correctional officer Michael Thomas, found the disgraced financier dead in his cell by hanging at 6:30 a.m., according to an FBI record of Noel’s internet search history that night.

Earlier that shift, Noel, 37, shopped for furniture online and snoozed on the job instead of making the mandated checks on Epstein every 30 minutes, while Thomas perused motorcycles, prosecutors said.

The FBI highlighted the eerie internet search in its 66-page forensic examination of the Bureau of Prisons desktop computers of Noel and Thomas. It was the only search highlighted.

When questioned during her sworn statement to the DOJ in 2021, Noel denied googling Epstein.

“I don’t remember doing that,” she claimed, according to a transcript. She said FBI records were not “accurate. I don’t recall looking him up.”

Noel, who has since been sued in Westchester County Supreme Court for alleged assault at her new job as a medical office assistant at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, also claimed to investigators that everyone at the Manhattan federal lockup failed to do rounds and falsified records about it.

Epstein and the coming “age of accountability” psy-op

In the wake Prince Andrew’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer gave an interview in which he said “nobody is above the law.”

And the media lost no time in proving my point. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson echoed it in an interview of her own. Everyone from Al Jazeera to the South China Morning Post has taken up the cry.

In one of those curiously timed coincidences, the UN actually used the same exact phrase just a day before Sir Keir.

Then there’s this long article in the Atlantic, I won’t sport with your intelligence by relating the bulk of the text, we concern ourselves only with the concluding paragraph:

The former Prince Andrew acted as he did because he lived in a world in which someone like him never faced consequences. That isn’t true anymore.

That’s the narrative in a nutshell. The system is fair and treats everyone the same. Old Guard bad, corruption being rooted out, accountability for the old boys club. Like #MeToo on crack.

In this vein we have the arrest of Peter Mandelson.

The investigation, and alleged attempted suicide, of Norway’s former PM Thorbjørn Jagland

The resignation of World Economic Forum chief Børge Brende over his “Epstein links”

The “retirement” of Harvard President and former Treasury Secretary of Larry Summers

Even stuff as small as the revelation of Bill Gates’ affairs with a couple of Russian women.

None of those latter four come close to actual arrests, of course. And the story is very much that while the UK (and Europe in general) are willing to act on Epstein, the US is lagging behind.
