SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 30 – Tetiana Berriors was
arraigned on June 30 for money
laundering - prostitution was
mentioned but is not in the
indictment.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil
conducted the arraignment.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the
courtroom.
After the
Federal Defender asked for 90
days, Judge Vyskocil indicated
that at that conference, on
October 11, she intends to set
a trial date.
The Assistant US
Attorney said he wanted add to
the conditions of release that
Berriors not continue to do
business with and through the
business at 9229 Queens
Boulevard, Suite CU-14, in
Rego Park, which he described
as being involved in
prostitution.
Inner City
Press found it on Google Maps,
and here.
What else will be
done?
So far, the SDNY
prosecutors have said that
from at least in or about
December 2020 through at least
in or about October 2022,
TETIANA BERRIORS laundered
funds on behalf of individuals
engaged in a series of frauds,
primarily BECs, that targeted
individuals, public
institutions, government
