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 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.
U.S. authorities say they've connected 3,000 kilograms of seized cocaine -- valued at over 90 million -- to the money laundering organization. The allegations are the product of a five-year investigation involving hundreds of agents, undercover and confidential sources, as well as cooperating witnesses used to infiltrate the narcotics operation.
