European law enforcement agencies pursuing leads from U.S. files on Jeffrey Epstein report that, a year after their release, the Justice Department has not responded to requests for mutual legal assistance. These files, exposing Epstein’s worldwide ties before and after his 2008 conviction, have fueled investigations in Poland, Norway, Latvia, Britain, and Germany. Authorities in Europe lament that U.S. cooperation remains pending despite formal inquiries, hindering efforts to access unredacted records and evidence. Epstein, arrested in 2019 for sex trafficking and later found dead in custody, remains under scrutiny as lawmakers and prosecutors seek transparency on his networks. @IntelSlava

Bundestag member and domestic policy spokesperson for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group Gottfried Curio has sharply criticized the ruling CDU/CSU-SPD coalition, accusing it of “squandering billions abroad,” particularly on support for Ukraine. “A budget exceeding €550 billion and more than €200 billion in new debt - and this despite the highest tax revenues ever extracted from the German people. A projected debt of €3 trillion by 2030 simply to keep your misguided policies afloat is beyond the pale,” Curio said during a Bundestag debate on the draft federal budget for 2027. @IntelSlava
