Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 9)

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell’s indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell’s actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies’ witnesses reinforced one another’s findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein’s death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell’s arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a major development in the ongoing congressional scrutiny of the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein’s network, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has voted to issue subpoenas to billionaire Les Wexner and two key figures tied to Epstein’s financial and legal affairs, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Wexner, the former head of L Brands and long-time associate of Epstein, is being asked to sit for a deposition as lawmakers press him on his longstanding ties to Epstein, including financial arrangements and the purchase of Epstein’s New York home — connections that have drawn decades of public and legal attention. Indyke, Epstein’s longtime lawyer, and Kahn, his in-house accountant, both co-executors of Epstein’s estate, are also being subpoenaed amid allegations from survivors and committee members that they may have known about or facilitated aspects of Epstein’s operations. Support for the subpoenas cut across party lines in the committee, and leaders say the actions are intended to “follow the money” and expose anyone who may have enabled or profited from Epstein’s abuses.The push for these subpoenas comes amid broader pressure by Congress to uncover the full scope of Epstein’s activities and connections, following the release of millions of pages of Epstein-related documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Congressional leaders, particularly Rep. Robert Garcia, have framed the subpoenas as critical to delivering accountability to survivors and clarifying whether figures like Wexner, Indyke, and Kahn were aware of or complicit in Epstein’s misconduct. Wexner has stated he will cooperate with inquiries but maintains he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes and severed ties in the mid-2000s. Indyke and Kahn likewise deny knowledge of wrongdoing and have indicated cooperation with the investigation. The committee’s actions reflect escalating legislative pressure to probe beyond the original criminal case and illuminate the financial, legal, and personal networks that supported Epstein’s operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Photographer Christopher Anderson shared a striking account of his 2015 encounter with Jeffrey Epstein that highlights Epstein’s effort to control how he was portrayed. Assigned to photograph Epstein for a New York Magazine story, Anderson didn’t know much about him beyond his powerful connections. According to Anderson, Epstein tried to negotiate buying the photos before they were published and later sent a large bodyguard to his studio to intimidate him into turning over the images when Epstein decided he didn’t want them released. Epstein reportedly pulled out of the story, threatened Anderson through his associate, and ultimately coerced him into handing over the photo files — actions that led the magazine to kill the story. Anderson only recently found a backup copy of those photos on an old hard drive, which include images of Epstein in his office with a taxidermied tiger and framed photos of his high-profile friends.Anderson’s recounting shows how Epstein used power and intimidation to shape his public image and suppress media coverage, and it underscores the broader efforts by Epstein and his circle to manage exposure long before his crimes were widely known. His story provides a rare, first-hand look at how Epstein attempted to control narratives and retain influence over how he appeared in the press — even threatening professionals in the industry to do so.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:White House Vanity Fair portraits photographer shares terrifying Epstein anecdote | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
