'A special place in hell': New taskforce to hunt down 'scouts' who sent girls to Epstein [View all]

London: A special taskforce will be set up in Poland to investigate a network of “scouts” who recruited girls for Jeffrey Epstein from across Europe, including one contact who told him of a dancer who had come from Queensland.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the investigation would also examine potential ties between Epstein and Russian spy agencies amid claims the convicted sex offender gathered compromising material on people he could blackmail.

The move comes after former British cabinet minister Peter Mandelson stepped down from the House of Lords ahead of a police inquiry into documents that suggest he sent confidential government information to Epstein.

While the British scandal has highlighted Epstein’s ties with powerful business and political figures, the Polish investigation focuses on the young women who were drawn into the network and suffered abuse.
