Keith Raniere

, the founder and leader of NXIVM , was found guilty during his trial in New York after he was exposed for enslaving women . During the trial, Emiliano Salinas, the son of the former President Carlos Salinas was mentioned several times. Nevertheless, Salinas names as a co-conspirator but was never asked to testify and wasn't charged in the U.S. According to his lawyers, according to criminal law in New York, a co-conspirator might have played a key role in a crime but that doesn't imply that the co-conspirator knew about the crimes. They claim Raniere lied to Salinas .
