Miranda, Case No. 17-cr-20814).

Gian Piere Perez Gutierrez and Peter Davis Perez Gutierrez were arrested in connection with this scheme.

According to the indictment, the suspects conspired to purchase billions of dollars of criminally derived gold from Latin America and the Caribbean, which they believed to be or which in fact were the proceeds of unlawful criminal activities, including illegal mining, foreign bribery, foreign smuggling, foreign narcotics trafficking, and the entry of goods into the United States by false means and statements.
