German politicians and bank named in newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents

Newly released court documents related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein have named several German political figures and institutions. The documents mention former Chancellor Angela Merkel, current Chancellor Olaf Scholz's former secretary, and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Deutsche Bank is also implicated in the files, with reports detailing its financial dealings with Epstein. German opposition politicians are calling for a government investigation into the connections revealed by the documents.
