US attorney charges 19 in alleged drug money laundering conspiracy abcnews.go.com
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Massachusetts on Tuesday revealed new money laundering conspiracy charges aimed at taking down Colombian drug traffickers with ties to the U.S.
The newly unsealed indictment targets 19 people — residents of Colombia, Jamaica, and Florida — who allegedly participated in what U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins described as a “really complicated conspiracy.”
The defendants are accused of facilitating large transfers and pick-ups of cash and then obscuring the money trail or “cleaning” the proceeds from illegal narcotics sales through a black market Peso exchange. The organization allegedly laundered about $6 million through U.S. financial institutions, Rollins said at a press conference.
