Over the past weekend, the US Department of Justice made public a new batch of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In more than three million files, Latvia and Riga are mentioned approximately 1,500 times.

Alongside names of Latvian models and agencies, the documents also contain a cultural reference: a legendary novel by a Latvian writer. Epstein reportedly asked an interlocutor: "What is your favorite book and movie? What else do you like to do in Florida besides lounging in the sun?"

The content reveals Epstein's extensive international connections, including with individuals from Latvia. The exact title and author of the novel are not disclosed in the source, but the mention highlights the presence of Latvian culture within the Epstein case.
