Officials in Lithuania are planning to formally request assistance from the United States as they continue investigating suspected human trafficking activities connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Baltic nation’s top prosecutor.
Prosecutor General Vita Grunskiene announced Thursday that her office is working on submitting an official request for legal assistance from American authorities. “We are preparing to send a request for legal aid to the U.S.,” Grunskiene stated during an interview with Lithuania’s Ziniu radio station.
The investigation has involved questioning approximately 20 individuals so far, though no criminal charges have been filed against anyone at this time, Grunskiene explained. She also made a public appeal encouraging any potential victims of the alleged trafficking operations to contact law enforcement officials.
