Wells Fargo banker sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for role in money laundering scheme [Breaking]
Investigators linked the money he transferred “to the sale of narcotics by a Mexican drug cartel, specifically the sale of multi-kilogram amounts of fentanyl in the Midwest,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego.Aguilera opened 26 bank accounts for a money laundering organization, according to his plea agreement. Of those, he created 11 accounts with false names, passport numbers and dates of birth.
Those 11 accounts were used to wire $3.8 million to Mexico, prosecutors said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleged Aguilera conducted most of those wire transfers himself. Aguilera was arrested in 2019, but the investigation led to the arrests of three others last year, who have each pleaded guilty to taking part in the money laundering conspiracy.
