Epstein Files Highlight 2020 Swiss Police Contact by Mark Epstein in Karl-Erivan Haub Case

An anonymized allegation of a killing with purported family contacts prompted Swiss police to request an FBI credibility check.

Overview

  • Three newly surfaced pages from the late-December release of Epstein-related records show Mark Epstein contacted Valais police on June 2, 2020, linking his brother’s death to the 2018 disappearance of Karl-Erivan Haub.
  • The documents reference an anonymous source using the name "Mim Mim" who allegedly reported a murder and claimed contacts within the Haub family, with media reporting raising the possibility of hush payments.
  • Swiss federal police sought the FBI’s assessment of Mark Epstein’s credibility and asked whether U.S. agencies had information on any Epstein–Haub connection, with no replies reflected in the pages cited.
  • Coverage recounts that the FBI and CIA questioned people in the Zermatt area soon after Haub vanished and that a Tengelmann investigator says he was intensively questioned at the U.S. Embassy in Bern in 2018.
  • Haub was declared dead by a German court in 2021, his body has not been found, and separate reporting in early 2025 published unverified images said to show him in Moscow in 2021.
