| U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch |
A federal grand jury indicted Philadelphia art dealer Victor Gordon last summer for allegedly importing and selling illegal African elephant ivory. U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch’s office is prosecuting the case. Her office is also handling the alleged antiquities smuggling case of United States v. Mousa Khouli et al.
An indicted defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
