Speaking at a briefing on Thursday, Żurek said he had completed recruitment of most team members, who will include special service representatives, prosecutors and police officers.
"We already have specific people who will be part of this team," Żurek said, but added that the identities of the members would not be disclosed.
The minister also said the government plans to request access from the United States to classified documentation related to the case.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the team's creation on Tuesday following the US Justice Department's release of approximately three million pages of documents concerning the American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019.
The team will examine potential child exploitation cases and the possible involvement of Russian intelligence services, along with any other links relevant to Polish nationals or the country’s security.
Tusk has not ruled out calling for an international inquiry.
Minister Żurek said investigators would seek to determine "which people could potentially have participated in this operation, whether Polish women were also recruited for it, and whether they were adults".
Meanwhile, documents show that in a 2011 visa application, Epstein said he was travelling to Moscow to visit MOO Vympel, a veterans’ organisation linked to a former KGB special forces unit.
According to a Polish Radio US correspondent, it was an elite KGB group established in 1981 to conduct overseas operations, including sabotage and counter-terrorism
The Epstein files contain over a thousand references to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
