New Mexico Targets Two Epstein Associates, Alleges Role in Trafficking
The lawsuit comes as New Mexico separately investigates Epstein and his associates at Zorro Ranch.
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez has filed a civil lawsuit against former attorney Darren K. Indyke and accountant Richard D. Kahn, alleging that they were involved in Jeffrey Epstein's alleged trafficking enterprise. The 49-page complaint seeks to prevent the men from receiving payments from Epstein's estate, as well as damages, restitution, and other relief for survivors.
The lawsuit claims that Indyke and Kahn used their professional positions and control over accounts to help operate and conceal Epstein's enterprise, which allegedly included trafficking connected to Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Epstein's attorney, Daniel Weiner, strongly denies the allegations, stating that his clients reject the claims of complicity or facilitation of Epstein's sexual abuse or trafficking.
The New Mexico Attorney General's office has reopened its criminal investigation into Epstein, and the civil lawsuit will proceed alongside the separate criminal investigation.
