INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Arda Beskardes is a New York-based immigration attorney who served as Jeffrey Epstein's legal counsel for immigration matters. According to recently released Department of Justice files, Beskardes facilitated the acquisition of immigration documents for women in Epstein's orbit, most notably coordinating the sham marriage, green card application, and citizenship process for Karyna Shuliak, Epstein's long-time girlfriend from Belarus. Court documents from Virgin Islands proceedings show Beskardes was subpoenaed for all documents and communications related to Epstein's estate. A Bank of America class action complaint alleges Beskardes participated in a scheme to defraud immigration officials by opening bank accounts at Epstein's direction. However, the available sources do not establish that Beskardes himself has been arrested, charged, convicted, or sentenced in connection with these activities.
