I think "fodder" of "as fodder for a civil forfeiture action" has a figurative meaning.
But what does it mean in this context?
Context>>>>>>>>>
Quinn said the agents arrived in Customs and Border Patrol boats and were on a bluff overlooking her curious crew and clients as they took a break from their snorkeling to watch.
“We were the only boat there today. We saw some beautiful fish, swam with turtles and witnessed an FBI raid,” she said. “Everyone was surprised it didn’t happen a lot sooner.”
The raid was a stark reminder that the federal criminal investigation of Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking is far from over, despite his shocking Saturday death by apparent suicide in federal custody.
New evidence recovered from the island compound could be used to charge others in the still unfolding case or as fodder for a civil forfeiture action aimed at seizing the property to provide restitution to his alleged victims.

The literal meaning of fodder is "coarse food for livestock, composed of entire plants, including leaves, stalks, and grain, of such forages as corn and sorghum" -- basically, feed for animals. The figurative meaning plays on the meaning of feed -- it may be used to "feed" (to sustain) a civil forfeiture action.

Thank you very much!!
Could I rephrase it to:
New evidence could be used as a reason for a civil forfeiture action
???

@monica8 It would be close in meaning, but not quite. It's not so much "reason" as "basis".

Thank you very much.
So it can be rephrased to:

@monica8 Yes, except it needs a fix to the grammar:
could *serve* as the basis
or
could be *the* basis
"be" and "as" don't go together.
