SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 19 – Alfaro Diaz was
arrested in the Atlanta
airport earlier this year on
his way to Costa Rica and
charged with money laundering
of elder fraud scheme
proceeds.
On July 28 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Denise L. Cote
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Cote
asked Diaz if he had read the
indictment.
He had not - a
Spanish translation had yet to
be produced.
He had discussed
it with his lawyer Marlon
Kirton. Kirton
mentioned that plea
negotiations are taking place.
Judge Cote set January 19,
2021 as trial date, with
motions due December 7.
Now on November
19, Judge Cote held another
proceeding - this one a change
of plea.
Diaz pleaded
guilty to the money
laundering, said to be $30,000
to $40,000 a month. His
sentencing submission is due
February 11, and the
government's on February 18.
The case is US v.
Diaz, 20-cr-305 (Cote)
