Cartel Cash Cleaner Sentenced to 4 Years for Multimillion-Dollar Peso Scheme
· Texas Border Business
Gabriel Arturo Castillo, a 52-year-old Mexican national from Monterrey, has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for his involvement in a multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme. The conspiracy, which lasted two years, facilitated the transfer of drug trafficking proceeds from the U.S. to Mexico without physically moving cash across the border. Castillo pleaded guilty in April and is expected to face deportation after serving his sentence. The operation involved using goods movement and a black-market peso exchange to disguise the origins of the funds, with significant assistance from U.S. and Mexican law enforcement agencies in the investigation and prosecution.
