The New Mexico legislative inquiry into the Jeffrey Epstein case has taken another step forward by issuing its first subpoenas, targeting 14 entities, including U.S. federal agencies and financial institutions.
The Epstein Truth Commission, created by the state legislature, seeks to obtain documents and testimony related to the activities of the deceased financier, who was previously convicted of sex crimes and accused of running a vast sex exploitation network.
The commission is chaired by Democratic Representative Andrea Romero, who said the goal is to better understand the institutional failures that allowed the alleged abuses to continue.
The entities targeted include the FBI, government offices in New Mexico, and Deutsche Bank, which has already been cited in several proceedings and investigations related to Epstein's finances.
Lawmakers also heard testimony from alleged survivors and relatives of victims, who are calling for broader investigations in other U.S. states where Epstein owned residences and properties.
According to members of the commission, the investigations could have a much broader scope if they establish links between certain public figures and the alleged criminal activities at Epstein's ranch in New Mexico.
The Epstein case continues to generate calls for greater transparency, particularly regarding the shortcomings of law enforcement institutions and the financial networks that may have supported his activities for several years.
