DOJ v. Gerardo Heriberto Nuñez Nuñez

Gerardo Heriberto Nuñez Nuñez allegedly served as a money launderer for a “call center” operation in the Dominican Republic that defrauded hundreds of elderly victims in the United States. According to the charging documents, the defendant provided the call center operators with access to bank accounts in the names of purported businesses. The runners would then deposit cash from victims into those bank accounts. The defendant also arranged for the runners to hand-deliver cash from victims to individuals in New York and elsewhere. The defendant then provided cash to the call center operators in the Dominican Republic. The defendant allegedly charged the call center operators a fee of approximately 8 to 10 percent in exchange for transmitting scam proceeds from the United States to the Dominican Republic.
