50岁的Krishna Deokaran被控与被停职的Osceola县警长Marcos Lopez有关的多县赌博活动有关的洗钱。 Krishna Deokaran, 50, was charged with money laundering in connection with a multi-county gambling operation linked to suspended Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez. 10月6日被捕,他以20 000美元的保释金获释并认罪。 Arrested October 6, he was released on $20,000 bail and pleaded not guilty. 据当局称,他是一项至少产生2 100万美元的计划的核心,涉及Osceola、Lake和Orange县的非法赌场,据称Lopez收到60万至70万美元。 Authorities allege he was central to a scheme generating at least $21 million, involving illegal casinos in Osceola, Lake, and Orange counties, with Lopez allegedly receiving $600,000–$700,000. Deokaran最初作为线人予以合作,据报他使用假副警徽,声称与Lopez有密切关系,以加强行动的合法性。 Deokaran, who cooperated initially as an informant, reportedly used a fake deputy badge and claimed a close relationship with Lopez to bolster the operation’s legitimacy. 两名共同被告已认罪,另一名被告未认罪,一名被告仍然在逃。 Two co-defendants have pleaded guilty, another pleaded no contest, and one remains at large. Lopez被控敲诈勒索和阴谋,仍保释金100万美元,因为等待变更地点请求,对他的审判被推迟。 Lopez, charged with racketeering and conspiracy, remains out on $1 million bail as his trial is delayed pending a venue change request.
