Federal prosecutors Monday said they nabbed a man who used his bank accounts here in South Florida to prey on the circumstances in Venezuela to and aid drug cartels--not businessmen.
The prosecutors said it was at a Bank of America in Doral where Martin Lustgarden Acherman had his South Florida accounts, and they were part of a massive money laundering scheme to the tune of $100 million.
The government says a big chunk of that was to launder money for Colombian Drug dealers and Colombian paramilitary organizations.

Prosecutors told a judge that Acherman, "Quarterbacked an international scheme to move U.S. dollars around on behalf of drug cartels and paramilitary organizations in Colombia."
