Danko Calls for Setting Up of Analytical Team to Look into Epstein Files

Bratislava, 20 February (TASR) - Junior governing Slovak National Party (SNS) leader Andrej Danko has urged Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok (Voice-SD) to set up an analytical team in Slovakia to review files related to the case of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "I'm disappointed that I have had to repeatedly call on the Interior Ministry and its head Sutaj Estok to carry out checks via an analytical team, like has been the case in Poland and Germany, on all information related to Slovakia," said Danko in a video posted on a social network. He pointed out that Slovakia is mentioned more than 700 times in the files and claimed that money flowed into Slovakia from Epstein. Danko defended his public call by stating that he hasn't received any understanding from Sutaj Estok or Premier Robert Fico (Smer-SD) concerning this matter. "I think that the Slovak police should find out who is mentioned in the files, what was happening here, whether underage children were also being sent from Slovakia, who was receiving money and for what, and on what grounds a girl from Belarus, who inherited money from Epstein, has Slovak citizenship," he stated. He called on the public to help to apply pressure in favour of setting up an analytical team. ko/df
