FBI Miami Arrests Two Men in $50 Million Money Laundering Scheme
Two men, Santiago Orrego Gomez and Daniel Mauricio Gomez Garcia, have been extradited to Miami from Colombia to face charges related to a $50 million money laundering scheme. The arrests were made by the Colombian National Police and the men were handed over to the FBI in Medellin. This operation, named 'Operation Count It Up,' is part of an FBI Miami investigation into complex international money laundering activities. The scheme involved multiple states and utilized wired funds and ATM cash deposits to obscure the origins of money, which included proceeds from narcotics, cryptocurrency conversions, and elder fraud scams.
