A Colombian national was sentenced today to 63 months in
prison for conspiring to launder drug trafficking proceeds, announced Assistant
Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal
Division and Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg of the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA).
Tito Miller Parra-Isaza, 45, pleaded guilty on May 26,
2015. U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade of
the Northern District of Texas imposed the sentence.
According to a factual stipulation filed in connection with
his guilty plea, Parra-Isaza coordinated the deposit of bulk cash, which he
knew to be the proceeds of drug trafficking, into financial institutions in
Mexico and elsewhere. The bulk cash was
later wire transferred into bank accounts in Dallas and then transported to
Panama and elsewhere for distribution to individuals involved in drug
trafficking.
Four other defendants previously pleaded guilty. Of the remaining charged defendants, three
are fugitives and one is deceased.
This case is being investigated by the DEA. This case is being prosecuted by Senior Trial
Attorney Mark Irish and Trial Attorney Nicole Grosnoff of the Criminal
Division’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section. The Criminal Division’s Office of
International Affairs also has provided substantial assistance.
