The man is guilty of laundry when laundry of drug proceeds of 25 million US dollars with Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, California, guilty

Boston – A man from Brooklyn, NY, confessed to a federal court in Boston in connection with his role in a demanding organization for international money laundering and drug trafficking.

According to the Ministry of Justice of Massachusetts, the 38 -year -old Rongjian Li owed to commit money laundering because of a conspiracy. The US district judge Angel Kelley planned the conviction for June 5, 2025.

In May 2023, Li belonged among 12 people from Massachusetts, Rhode Iceland, New York and California, who were entitled to replace charges for their alleged participation because of their alleged participation in a demanding international money laundering and drug trade organization under the direction of Jin Hua Zhang. The investigation showed that Zhang had washed against the fee against drug dealers in the amount of mass money and washed profits from other illegal companies. In less than a year, Zhang and its organization through undercover agents washed at least 25 million US dollars for drug revenue and means of other illegal companies. The funds were finally attributed and recorded in Hong Kong and elsewhere in China, India, Cambodia and Brazil.

The investigation identified Li as a member of the money laundering conspiracy, which from 2021 to 2022 used his position as an employee of the Bank of America to knowingly open several accounts through which the organization weighed illegal means. Li was also aware that some of the accounts with fraudulent passes were opened. As part of his participation, when the bank's financial testing systems were marked or frozen, Li, Zhang helped to avoid the bank's anti-money laundering protocols and to move illegal means elsewhere. In addition, Li was sitting next to Zhang at a dinner in New York, where Zhang discussed the various fee percent sentences, which he charged for drug trafficking and fraud.

Zhang announced himself guilty in September 2023 and is to be convicted on May 15, 2025.

The indictment of up to 20 years, up to three years, is intended for money laundering and a fine of up to 500,000 US dollars or twice as high as the associated amount, depending on which value is larger. The punishments are imposed by a judge of the Federal District Court, which is based on the US conviction guidelines and statutes that regulate the determination of a judgment in a criminal proceedings.

The United States' lawyer, Leah B. Foley and Jodi Cohen, Special Agent, who is responsible for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave the Boston department to notice. Assistant US lawyer Christopher Pohl, Brian A. Fogerty and Meghan C. Cleary from the criminal department pursue the case.

The details contained in the indictment are allegations. The remaining defendants are considered innocent, unless and up to an appropriate doubt before a court.
