The Estonian Internal Security Service (Kapo) has clarified that references to Estonia found in the disclosed files regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein do not indicate any threat to national security. This was in response to inquiries from members of the Social Democratic Party who sought to understand whether Estonian security and law enforcement agencies were reviewing the released documents to assess potential implications for Estonia or its citizens.

Former Kapo director Arnold Sinisalu has raised concerns about the possibility of individuals within Estonia being mentioned in the Epstein documents, which could make them targets for blackmail. This issue is of significant concern as it potentially poses a threat to national security and democratic institutions. The focus on ensuring the safety and integrity of such institutions highlights the importance of thorough investigations by the relevant authorities.

Responding to ERR's inquiry about the examination of Epstein's files, Kapo's office director, Harrys Puusepp, stated that the files published by the U.S. Department of Justice are publicly accessible. This transparency underscores the need for vigilance and awareness regarding any potential connections to Estonian individuals but indicates that no immediate threat has been identified by Kapo at this time.
