Money Laundering Brothers

Sunday, April 15th, 2012

Two brothers accused of  laundering money for the Zetta drug cartel are still on the run.  A recent article by the express news pointed out some strange facts.  The brothers purchased properties and restaurants on North San Pedro but the article failed to mention why the properties were purchased.

Anyone that’s played soccer in San Antonio is aware of the high population of illegal immigrants, in particular immigrants from Guatemala & Honduras.  We recently learned that the Mexican Drug Cartels are working with Cartels in Guatemala and Honduras.

This connection explains why there are so many illegal immigrants on North San Pedro and why the guys I played soccer with would make frequent trips home.  I can’t afford to visit missouri every week or even visit family in Houston, but people illegally in our country can go from country to country.
I think these people are or were drug mules for the drug cartels.

I lost contact with my friends a few years ago.  Many things remind me of my soccer friends & if any of them need help I hope they contact my law office immediately.

Retired Major Pleads Guilty

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

A retired Army major pleaded guilty Wednesday to receiving $400,000 for helping a fellow officer from San Antonio in a large military corruption case.

At a hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Nowak, Charles J. Bowie Jr., 45, of Georgetown pleaded guilty to money laundering.

He admitted helping ex-Army Maj. John Cockerham-who is serving a prison term of more than 17 years for bribery and related charges-in one of his schemes.

Court records said Bowie helped Cockerham rig a recurring $13 million bottled water contract at Camp Arifjan, a U.S. military base in Kuwait.  Bowie received four $100,000 payments from an India-based company that got the contract, records show.

In all, Cockerham admitted collecting $9.6 million of $15 million in bribes he expected to get for fixing contracts from at least eight companies.

Bowie faces 21 to 33 months in prison when he is sentenced later.
