The so-called Epstein files have become a pressing priority for the Latvian Prosecutor's Office, with a criminal process already initiated in collaboration with the State Police, as noted by Attorney General Meisters. The primary task at this stage is to carefully analyze which facts from these materials may pertain to Latvia and to identify individuals mentioned within them. Meisters emphasized that the investigation requires official materials from US law enforcement agencies rather than public, anonymized documents that are currently available.

Initial communication with US law enforcement indicates that cooperation will be possible, and there currently is no information suggesting any hurdles in accessing non-anonymized materials. Meisters reiterated the interest shown by the US in cooperating on this matter, indicating a promising avenue for progress in the investigation. This reflects a willingness from both sides to collaborate, which could significantly enhance the quality of the information obtained.

Meisters explained that the legal assistance mechanisms in such cases are relatively effective, yet the process will not be short-term, as acquiring full information could take two to three months. The biggest challenge will likely be the extensive analytical work required to sift through the material. Nonetheless, the engagement with US authorities marks a vital step in addressing the implications of the Epstein files in Latvia, underscoring the importance of international cooperation in legal investigations.
