Decker. \u201cThis case shows that membership in the cartel is not a prerequisite to prosecution; criminals outside of the cartel that enable drug trafficking will also face substantial prison sentences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to the indictment, a \u201chawala\u201d is an alternative form or method of money remittance which operates outside of traditional banking or financial systems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Through hawala transactions, only the value of the money is transferred, not the money itself. The hawala system transfers money via a network of brokers known as \u201chawaladars.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to the indictment, in its most basic form, a hawala needs at least two brokers who are typically located in separate countries (but can be located in different cities within one country). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The transfer of monetary value occurs between the brokers based solely upon the trust that exists between the brokers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Thus, there are no promissory instruments or any legally binding features of the hawala system, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The necessary trust and long-established connections between brokers are typically based on familial, ethnic, religious, regional and\/or cultural grounds. Often, a given hawala network consists of many brokers operating in multiple countries around the world in which all brokers are in contact with each other and money movements can occur in a variety of directions from one country to another, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The indictment specifically alleges that the hawala network transferred more than $4.5 million in narcotics proceeds and was involved in the trafficking of 64 pounds of cocaine and about 90 pounds of methamphetamine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, during the course of a four-year federal wiretap investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration\u2019s LA Strike Force and IRS &#8211; Criminal Investigation, authorities seized a total of $15.4 million in bulk United States currency, 708 pounds of cocaine, 98 pounds of methamphetamine, 11 kilograms of MDMA (\u201cecstasy\u201d) and about 20 pounds of heroin, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cIndividuals lending assistance to drug traffickers in the form of laundering drug proceeds are arguably no better than the traffickers themselves,\u201d said Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge John S. Comer.\u00a0 \u201cMartin\u2019s sentence is a warning to others that might be tempted to collude with drug trafficking organizations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Previously, 14 other defendants have been arrested and arraigned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The indictment charges seven defendants who are currently fugitives. Of the 14 who have been arraigned, 10 have pled guilty and four have been sentenced.\u00a0 The three defendants who have been arraigned but have not yet pled guilty are scheduled for trial in April 4, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cMartin&#8211;a frequent money courier for the Sinaloa Drug cartel&#8211;used Bud Light and Diet Coke cardboard drink boxes to move illicit drug proceeds through Southern California.\u00a0 IRS Criminal Investigation will continue our vigilant pursuit of unlicensed money transmitters who attempt to circumvent the financial system of the United States,\u201d stated Anthony J. Orlando, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The seven fugitives named in the indictment who have not yet been apprehended are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sanjeev Bhola, of India<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Balwat Bhola, of India<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bakshish Sidhu, of India<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Jason Robert Carey, 37, a resident of the province of Ontario<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Jesus Manuel Perez Rios, 33, of Coachella, who authorities believe fled to Mexico<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tina Pham, 25, of Montreal<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A Canadian man known only as \u201cBuddy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Additionally, defendant Breidi Alberto Espinoza, 28, of Corona, California, was arrested on July 10 at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, but authorities believe he has now fled to Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">*** \u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The investigation in this case is being conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and IRS \u2013 Criminal Investigation.
