Latvian authorities have begun a criminal investigation into possible human trafficking following the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The files reportedly contain references to Latvian model agencies, models, and detailed information such as passport data and travel records of Latvian women. The investigation, which involves prosecutors and the Organised Crime Bureau, is focused on the potential recruitment of Latvian nationals for sexual exploitation in the United States. Latvia's president called for the probe after media reports highlighted the connections, and police have urged any potential victims to come forward. Neighboring Lithuania has also opened a similar investigation into human trafficking in response to the revelations.
