Who is Marko in the Epstein files?

Most references to 'Marko' in the Epstein files are not to a person at all, but rather citations to Miami Herald Pub. Co. v. Marko, a 1977 Florida Supreme Court case about grand jury disclosures that appears in DOJ court documents. A few mentions in phone records from 2005 show 'Marko, OH' and 'Marko, ON' as location tags, which could potentially refer to Mark Epstein (Jeffrey's brother), but these provide no substantive information.

Is Marko the same person as Mark Epstein?

Possibly, but the evidence is minimal. Phone records from 2005 show calls to/from 'Marko' in Ohio and Ontario, which could be Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's younger brother who worked in real estate. However, the mentions are just location tags in call logs with no context. The majority of 'Marko' references are actually citations to a legal case unrelated to any individual.

What is the Miami Herald Pub. Co. v. Marko case cited in the documents?

Miami Herald Pub. Co. v. Marko, 352 So. 2d 518 (Fla. 1977) is a Florida Supreme Court case establishing that grand juries have the right to investigate and publicly report on official misconduct, and that the public's right to information outweighs certain privacy concerns of government officials. It's cited in DOJ court documents related to the Epstein case regarding grand jury disclosure procedures, not as evidence of any person named Marko being connected to Epstein.
