Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Polish Prosecutors Launch An Investigation Into Jeffrey Epstein’s Links to Poland
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. One of the things that distinguish Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:07Speaker 1: from a lot of other traffickers is the international aspect
- 0:12Speaker 1: of what he was doing. Now that's not to say
- 0:16Speaker 1: that there's not a lot of international trafficking, there most
- 0:19Speaker 1: certainly is. But when we're talking about Epstein, he had
- 0:23Speaker 1: a pipeline that was built directly into Eastern Europe. And
- 0:28Speaker 1: it wasn't just Russia. We're talking about places like Belarus.
- 0:34Speaker 1: We're talking about places like Bulgaria. We're talking about places
- 0:38Speaker 1: like Ukraine. And we're certainly talking about places like Poland.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Because it's now come out that Warsaw was a gigantic
- 0:48Speaker 1: hub for Jeffrey Epstein and his operation. And due to
- 0:52Speaker 1: that fact, the Polish authorities have now opened an investigation.
- 0:58Speaker 1: So today, we have an article from TVP World. And
- 1:01Speaker 1: the headline, Prosecutors Launch Epstein Probe After Human Trafficking Links
- 1:06Speaker 1: Found in Poland. This article was authored by Tymon Miller.
- 1:10Speaker 1: You know, it seems pretty extensive for a hoax, doesn't it?
- 1:15Speaker 1: Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into the Polish threads
- 1:19Speaker 1: in the possible human trafficking scheme orchestrated by disgraced U.S.
- 1:23Speaker 1: financier Jeffrey Epstein. The probe follows the release of U.S.
- 1:28Speaker 1: authorities of millions of pages of documents linked to Epstein,
- 1:32Speaker 1: whose network of associates and contacts has sparked political controversy
- 1:37Speaker 1: in several countries. Several? I'd say more than that. I mean,
- 1:42Speaker 1: how many investigations have we seen around the world? And
- 1:45Speaker 1: to be honest with you, those investigations should multiply because
- 1:50Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was committing crimes everywhere he went. And that's
- 1:55Speaker 1: just the abuse. Can you imagine the kind of financial
- 1:58Speaker 1: crimes that were being committed by him and his buddies?
- 2:02Speaker 1: Polish authorities said documents reviewed by prosecutors pointed to possible
- 2:06Speaker 1: recruitment of women in Poland. Oh, there's no doubt. And
- 2:11Speaker 1: the first person that comes to mind is Adriana Ross, right?
- 2:15Speaker 1: She's a Polish citizen and she was brought into the
- 2:18Speaker 1: fold and she became one of Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, recruiters,
- 2:22Speaker 1: core four people and somebody that was integral to the operation.
- 2:29Speaker 1: And of course, she was also one of the people
- 2:31Speaker 1: that was protected by the NPA. On March 10th, 2026,
- 2:37Speaker 1: the National Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation into human trafficking
- 2:42Speaker 1: committed between 2009 and August 2019 on the territory of
- 2:48Speaker 1: Poland and other countries. Prosecutor spokesman Premis Law Nowak said
- 2:53Speaker 1: in a statement, Well, that's nice to hear, huh? About
- 2:57Speaker 1: time somebody's looking into the dude. And imagine, here in America,
- 3:02Speaker 1: we're just sitting around like it's no big deal. No
- 3:04Speaker 1: investigations whatsoever, huh? Nobody was involved. Just Jeffrey Epstein. I
- 3:10Speaker 1: guess the Polish have it all wrong. I guess the
- 3:13Speaker 1: English have it all wrong. And the only people with
- 3:15Speaker 1: their finger on the pulse is the DOJ. I mean,
- 3:18Speaker 1: come on. They recognize this as the hoax that it is.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Everybody else is crazy. I mean, how ridiculous is that?
- 3:26Speaker 1: everywhere else this is a big problem, but here in America,
- 3:29Speaker 1: let's just forget about it. Let's just move on. He
- 3:32Speaker 1: added that the suspected scheme involving recruiting adult and minor
- 3:36Speaker 1: female persons, including Polish citizens, by misleading them about the
- 3:40Speaker 1: real nature of future employment abroad, and then organizing their
- 3:44Speaker 1: transport outside Poland and handing them over to other persons
- 3:48Speaker 1: for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Well, that sure sounds
- 3:52Speaker 1: like a human trafficking ring to me. And considering that
- 3:54Speaker 1: the Dow is under 50,000, maybe somebody should bring this
- 3:58Speaker 1: up to Pam Bondi. Emails within the Epstein files reviewed
- 4:03Speaker 1: by TVP World highlight Warsaw as a transport hub for
- 4:07Speaker 1: Epstein's network of associates and potential victims. It most certainly was. Now,
- 4:13Speaker 1: I won't even begin to tell you that I know
- 4:14Speaker 1: all the people that were involved in places like Poland
- 4:17Speaker 1: or all the people that were abused. I do not.
- 4:20Speaker 1: But there's certainly enough information here for a real investigation
- 4:24Speaker 1: to kick off. And there always has been. The investigation
- 4:29Speaker 1: will allow prosecutors to carry out a full evidentiary procedure,
- 4:34Speaker 1: authorities said. One of the first procedural decisions will be
- 4:38Speaker 1: to send requests to two European countries for information and
- 4:42Speaker 1: evidence under a European investigation order, the statement said, while
- 4:46Speaker 1: calling on victims to contact prosecutors. And look, I don't
- 4:50Speaker 1: think there's any scenario under the sun where there aren't
- 4:53Speaker 1: more victims, more people that were victimized by these people. Now,
- 4:58Speaker 1: if they're going to come forward or not, that's a
- 5:00Speaker 1: whole different story, especially considering the way some of these
- 5:03Speaker 1: survivors have been treated. You might have people that are
- 5:06Speaker 1: just like, you know what? I don't need it in
- 5:08Speaker 1: my life. I don't need my family to go through it. And,
- 5:11Speaker 1: you know, I've suffered in silence this long. I'll just
- 5:13Speaker 1: keep going. And it's unfortunate. Because anybody who's been abused
- 5:18Speaker 1: should be able to come forward and be confident that
- 5:21Speaker 1: they're going to be listened to. But unfortunately, we know
- 5:24Speaker 1: that's not the case. And there's a whole lot of
- 5:26Speaker 1: pieces of shit out there that do what they do
- 5:30Speaker 1: specifically because they know the sort of effect it's going
- 5:33Speaker 1: to have overall. And it's all part of it. Poland
- 5:39Speaker 1: set up the investigative team in February alongside a government
- 5:43Speaker 1: analytical group tasked with examining possible Polish links to Epstein's activities.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Emails released in the documents include references to Daniel Said,
- 5:53Speaker 1: described by lawyers for Epstein's victims as a scout of
- 5:56Speaker 1: girls and or women for Epstein, who wrote in 2009
- 6:00Speaker 1: about traveling in small villages in Poland and other countries
- 6:04Speaker 1: in the region in search of women and that's what
- 6:06Speaker 1: they would do. They would go to these poverty-stricken areas
- 6:10Speaker 1: and they'd look for girls. And then these recruiters would
- 6:14Speaker 1: promise them the world. Oh, you're going to be this
- 6:16Speaker 1: big model. You're going to work for Victoria's Secret. You're
- 6:19Speaker 1: going to do this. You're going to do that. Only
- 6:21Speaker 1: to be brought to America and elsewhere and abused. And
- 6:26Speaker 1: this went on and on and on for years and
- 6:28Speaker 1: years and years. And now finally, people are paying attention.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But unfortunately, I think it's going to be too late.
- 6:35Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the people that were
- 6:36Speaker 1: involved are going to get away with it. Siad had
- 6:40Speaker 1: also worked as a scout for Jean-Luc Brunel, who owned
- 6:43Speaker 1: a modeling agency set up with Epstein's help. Brunel committed
- 6:48Speaker 1: suicide in 2022 before going on trial for sexually abusing minors.
- 6:54Speaker 1: And that's another one I have a lot of doubts about. Now,
- 6:57Speaker 1: I can't be as confident as what we talk about
- 7:00Speaker 1: when we talk about Epstein because I don't know the
- 7:02Speaker 1: French system. I don't know all the history of that jail.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's ever been there. I don't
- 7:08Speaker 1: know all the details. Whereas with MCC, I know people
- 7:13Speaker 1: that have been to that facility. And we can look
- 7:16Speaker 1: at the records contemporaneously and see just how many suicides
- 7:20Speaker 1: have occurred. But over in France, different story, right? But
- 7:26Speaker 1: the further we go and the more we learn or
- 7:28Speaker 1: don't learn, the more I'm convinced that Jean-Luc Brunel didn't
- 7:33Speaker 1: meet his fate at his own hands. Now, I'll be
- 7:37Speaker 1: the first one to tell you that I have no
- 7:39Speaker 1: evidence to back that up. None. But it's just one
- 7:41Speaker 1: of those feelings that I have. And maybe that's because
- 7:45Speaker 1: the cynicism of everything else is dripping into it. But,
- 7:50Speaker 1: at this point, how can we trust anything that the
- 7:52Speaker 1: authorities are telling us? In France, or anywhere else? The
- 7:56Speaker 1: files also reference two Poles who worked closely with Epstein
- 8:00Speaker 1: for years. One was Polish model, Adriana Musinska-Ross, who traveled
- 8:05Speaker 1: on Epstein's private jet and was named in a 2008 U.S.
- 8:09Speaker 1: case as a potential participant in a scheme involving the
- 8:12Speaker 1: prostitution of minors, though she was never charged. Yeah, she
- 8:17Speaker 1: was protected by the NPA. You know, the NPA that
- 8:20Speaker 1: the DOJ has no desire to get rid of? That NPA.
- 8:23Speaker 1: They could get rid of that tomorrow. But they won't.
- 8:27Speaker 1: And that's because it'll blow the whole thing up. Imagine
- 8:31Speaker 1: you bring in Adriana Ross, You really think she's going
- 8:33Speaker 1: to keep quiet? She's going to play ball? Hell no.
- 8:36Speaker 1: She doesn't want to go to prison. So, of course,
- 8:39Speaker 1: she's going to rat people out. And that's why they
- 8:42Speaker 1: got the deal. Because they were protecting Epstein. It was
- 8:45Speaker 1: collateral damage, right? And not only did they get these
- 8:50Speaker 1: sweetheart deals, the protection, they also got paid a ton
- 8:53Speaker 1: of money. Epstein gave them a bunch of money to
- 8:56Speaker 1: be silent. And none of that speculation. That's what occurred.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Another was Janusz Banasik, a Polish national who managed Epstein's
- 9:07Speaker 1: Palm Beach residence in Florida for about two decades and
- 9:10Speaker 1: later testified in court proceedings linked to the case. The
- 9:14Speaker 1: files contain multiple references to women from Poland, though so
- 9:18Speaker 1: far there has been little evidence of connections to Polish
- 9:21Speaker 1: political elites. Human trafficking is punishable in Poland by up
- 9:26Speaker 1: to 20 years in prison, prosecutors said. So look, there's
- 9:31Speaker 1: no doubt that there was a pipeline running through Poland. Now,
- 9:34Speaker 1: does it connect to the political elite? I don't know.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I don't know much about Poland. But what I do
- 9:40Speaker 1: know is that Epstein and his buddy Jean-Luc Brunel were
- 9:44Speaker 1: using areas in Poland, in Ukraine, in Russia, and everywhere
- 9:49Speaker 1: in between to find girls who were vulnerable so that
- 9:52Speaker 1: they could abuse them. And once they had them in
- 9:56Speaker 1: their clutches, forget it. What do you do? You're some
- 9:59Speaker 1: girl from some village in Poland and you find yourself
- 10:01Speaker 1: in New York City and the people that brought you
- 10:04Speaker 1: there take your passport that they got for you fraudulently
- 10:07Speaker 1: in the first place and say, now look, you're going
- 10:10Speaker 1: to do whatever we tell you to do. What exactly
- 10:13Speaker 1: could these girls do to get away from that? So
- 10:17Speaker 1: my question is, how many women found themselves in that position?
- 10:20Speaker 1: And unfortunately, the DOJ has no desire to give us
- 10:24Speaker 1: that information. So hopefully these investigations over in Europe provide
- 10:28Speaker 1: some more detail as we continue to try to put
- 10:31Speaker 1: all the moving parts together when it comes to Jeffrey
- 10:34Speaker 1: Epstein's international criminal empire. All the information that goes with
- 10:39Speaker 1: this episode can be found in the description box.
