\n The federal prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell could have public officials in its sights, according to a report Friday.<\/p>\n

The US Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan assigned the explosive case to a unit that deals with public-corruption cases, said Law & Crime.<\/p>\n

The SDNY notably did not assign Maxwell\u2019s case \u2014 which revolves around underaged sex-trafficking \u2014 to the office\u2019s Violent and Organized Crime Unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that it is staffed out of Public Corruption tells me that a public official \u2013 past or present \u2013 is involved in at least some capacity,\u201d CNN legal analyst Elie Honig told the site.<\/p>\n

\u201c[That] could mean a potential target, witness or a potential co-conspirator. It could mean a lot of different things.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the US Department of Justice, the Public Corruption Unit zeroes in on governmental misconduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unit oversees the investigation and prosecution of corruption crimes committed by elected and app<\/a>ointed officials, government employees, and individuals and companies doing business with the city, state, and federal government,\u201d according to the DOJ\u2019s Web site. \u201cCorruption crimes investigated by the unit include bribery, embezzlement, and frauds committed against local, state, and federal government agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maxwell\u2019s former lover, the late Jeffrey Epstein, was linked to a long list of high-profile associates both before and after his sweetheart 2009 deal for soliciting prostitution for a minor. He killed himself in August in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting a fresh sex-trafficking case.<\/p>\n

Epstein\u2019s underage-prostitution investigation began in Florida, and observers speculated the Maxwell\u2019s case could scrutinize the role of officials there, according to Law & Crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Public Corruption Unit was the unit that brought the original Epstein charges and thus these additional Maxwell charges, likely because of the involvement of public officials in Florida in giving Epstein the sweetheart plea deal a number of years ago,\u201d former SDNY deputy chief and current CNN legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers told the site. \u201cMy educated guess is that part of this investigation has involved whether any of those officials had done anything wrong [such as accepting bribes] in connection with that matter.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
