Prosecutors throw the book at money launderer for Venezuela

retrieved

Federal prosecutors in Miami are seeking a stiff prison sentence against a U.S.-based money manager they claim is hindering their efforts to seize a $2.7 million home and other assets he agreed to forfeit when he pleaded guilty to laundering bribe payments for a corrupt Venezuelan official. Colombian-born Gustavo Hernandez Frieri pleaded guilty in 2019 to a single count of conspiring to launder money for his role in a $1.2 billion embezzlement scheme involving Venezuela’s state-run oil giant PDVSA.
