Reasoning
This is a reported allegation of a RICO investigation, not a direct trafficking indicator. Per REPORTED_ALLEGATION rule, we assess the underlying alleged activity. A RICO claim can encompass trafficking but this event only reports that prosecutors are *attempting* to construct such a claim-it does not describe specific trafficking acts, victims, procurement, or exploitation. The trafficking_likelihood reflects that RICO investigations of Epstein's organization plausibly target trafficking networks, but this particular event provides no explicit evidence of trafficking activity itself.
