Social Democrats in the Riigikogu asked Interior Minister Igor Taro whether Estonian security agencies are investigating Jeffrey Epstein's materials.
The MPs said that Epstein's documents contain names of many countries. This prompted other countries to conduct additional investigations.
Estonia is also mentioned in the documents. They suggest that Epstein may have had potential victims in Estonia.
Former KAPO director general Arnold Sinisalu also said it is necessary to investigate whether there are people in Estonia who could be blackmailed. This could pose a threat to Estonia's security.
The Social Democrats wanted to know whether KAPO and the Prosecutor's Office are working with Epstein's documents. They also asked whether Estonia has found Epstein's networks or individuals.
The MPs asked whether Estonia has turned to other countries for additional information. They want to know what steps have been taken.
The Social Democrats want to know what the government is doing to reduce security risks. For example, the threat of human trafficking or blackmail.
Latvia and Lithuania have begun investigating human trafficking based on Epstein's documents. These documents refer to models working there.
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in 2019. Officials said he committed suicide.
Epstein's partner Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a US court. She recruited underage girls for sexual exploitation.
Epstein had connections with many powerful politicians and businessmen. Thousands of published documents show this.
