JAKARTA - The Russian government laughs at the issue that says the late convicted US sex predator, Jeffrey Epstein, is Russian intelligence or a spy.
"I'm tempted to make a lot of jokes about that version, but let's not waste time," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who could not hide his smile when asked about the issue on Thursday, February 5, quoted from AFP.
In the development of the Epstein case, which ensnared many world figures including US President Donald Trump, Poland continues to deepen.
Most recently, Poland is investigating Epstein's alleged ties to Russian intelligence, following the release of millions of new Epstein files by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
The files show Epstein on several occasions talking about his desire to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin - although there is no evidence they ever met.
Peskov told Russian government media earlier this week that the Kremlin had never received a request from Epstein to meet with Putin.
Epstein is known to have had a long-standing and well-documented friendship with Trump. While awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, Epstein died in a US jail in 2019.
