SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 20 – Gambian
national Dawda Jeng pled
guilty to money laundering,
after telling a US
confidential source he wanted
to procure assault rifles to
export to his uncle, a
politician in Gambia.
On January
20, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Victor Marrero held
his sentencing. Inner City
Press covered it.
Jeng's
lawyer emphasized that it had
been a sting operation. Judge
Marrero imposed a sentence of
42 months, forfeiture of
$2,500.
The case is
US v. Jeng, 19-cr-800
(Marrero)
