So I assume Austria is launching an investigation to find who created these documents and charge them with forgery and espionage? Breaking of diplomatic relations with the countries responsible? Pushing the EU to sanction those responsible?
Hello? Austria? You there?
- For a nearly fifty year old paper forgery?
  
  If the US found out that a known spy with ties to Chinese and Iranian intelligence had a fake US passport in the 80s I don’t think they’d be like “Eh it was a long time ago who cares”
  
  lol. Saying 'eh fuck it who cares' and facing the fact that paper forgeries fifty years old will yield limited results are two different things.
- Austria is a country where all you have to is telling the judge that you don't remember anything to get away with all kinds of shit (as long as you're a right-wing cishet man). The most corrupt party has been in power for almost 4 decades straight and the current interior minister is a fascist. Don't expect anything to get investigated properly
  
  Okay, so apparently there's even more to this story. There's an e-mail exchange from Epstein and Steve Bannon in 2018 about a possible meeting with then-chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who is also from the ÖVP and now works for Peter Thiel after resigning from his position due to corruption investigations.
  There's also now info that Epstein went to Vienna in 2019. Not sure how he managed to do that, considering that Austrian passports are only valid for 10 years. So either someone helped him or there are more passports around.
  In any case, there is absolutely no way that they will allow any proper investigation.

  "No Records" of Entry or Exit
  In a parliamentary inquiry response in March 2022, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) wrote that investigations had not yet been able to confirm the existence of the Austrian passport in question. Therefore, there was no information available regarding who issued it and under what circumstances.
  A spokesperson for the Interior Ministry told the APA news agency that there were "no records" of Epstein entering or leaving the country with the passport. Furthermore, the stamps in the passport date back to the 1980s, before the Schengen Area existed.
