Paragraph 72 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
72a. Recalls the body of documents published in connection with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which indicates that countless crimes have been committed and, consequently, that there is a large group of hidden perpetrators; notes that it is well documented that Epstein had a network extending deep into the corridors of power across Europe, including royalty, top diplomats and politicians; condemns the fact that it has not yet been established how many, and which, members of this network were aware of or involved in human trafficking, the sexual exploitation of children, fraud and financial crime; stresses not only that it is seriously concerning that these individuals remain at large, but also that the lack of full accountability undermines the rule of law and public trust in democratic institutions; stresses that cases involving cross-border elements within the EU should be addressed at EU level; questions the EU’s ability to investigate, prevent and combat complex cross-border crime committed by society’s elites; urges the Commission to promptly task the EU’s expert centre for crime prevention (Europol), together with the European Anti-Fraud Office and national authorities, to investigate and analyse the nature of this criminal activity, as well as to identify those who can be held accountable;
