Moneylaundering Scheme Acquittal

Client acquitted on Federal charges of money laundering scheme

A federal jury in Miami, Florida found our firm’s client not guilty on a money laundering scheme charge. The defense team contended that the client was a victim of a sting by a federal task force and that he had no intention of breaking the law. He was accused of attempting to sell a $700,000 Ferrari to an undercover agent in an alleged money-laundering scheme. The prosecution wanted our client to plea bargain to a lesser offense and testify against others, but our client would not plead to something he did not do. Instead Attorney Pellegrino tried the case asserting a defense that his client had been entrapped by the Government Agents. The federal prosecutor in this case was the person who successfully prosecuted Manuel Noriega, Panama’s former military leader.

Result: Acquittal.
