Money wire transfers used against immigrant smugglers

Money wire transfers used against immigrant smugglers
SUSAN CARROLL

A task force that targets human-smuggling organizations by analyzing wire transfers of money has netted about $4 million since March, hitting traffickers hard during a prime time for illegal border crossings and resulting in at least 55 arrests.
But critics say Arizona's latest anti-smuggling initiative, which uses computer analysis to periodically target all Western Union transactions over $750, also has snared innocent people sending money to family members.
The task force, led by the Arizona Attorney General's Office, uses a state law that took effect in August to go after the proceeds associated with people smuggling, estimated at $320 million annually in Phoenix alone. Since late 2004, the task force has frozen about $10 million in wire transfers. However, it returned an estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of the money after finding the intended recipients were not smugglers.
The wire-transfer investigations led to trafficking suspects such as Roberto Navarez-Vega, who, detectives said, picked up $40,000 in smuggling proceeds from Western Union within an 18-month span. Navarez-Vega's cell phone kept ringing during a police interrogation last fall. When he answered, the caller said, "We have a big load. Where do you want us to put these people?" court records show.
But the process is not always so clean. On April 1, Luis Martinez, an engineer whose wife used to work for the Arizona Attorney General's Office, went to a Western Union office in Tucson to pick up $1,000. His wife had wired the money from the U.S. Commonwealth of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, where she now works as a prosecutor. The money was intended to pay bills and buy their teenage son medication after dental surgery.
He was told the money was frozen and eventually tracked down a detective.
"They grilled me like I was a criminal," Martinez said. "I was shocked. They assume everybody is guilty and let the chips fall where they may. It's wrong."
Since 2000, when federal agents reported record-setting arrests of illegal immigrants along Arizona's stretch of border with Mexico, law enforcement officials have looked for new ways to go after smuggling organizations and cut down on related violence in Phoenix, a major distribution hub for traffickers, attorney general spokeswoman Andrea Esquer.
The office had the power to seize the assets of organized-crime syndicates, but not specifically human traffickers, she said.
Last year's law gave the task force the ability to seek seizure warrants from judges for wire transfer data. The warrants give investigators in search of smuggling money a time period, typically less than two months at a time, to sift through the tens of thousands of wire transfers that pass through the Western Union's system each hour of each day.
The process freezes all transactions of more than $750. Then a detective from the task force, which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Arizona Department of Public Safety investigators, contacts the intended recipient, Esquer said. In some cases, the person who went to pick up the money was given a phone number for an investigator to call first. Then, if the person is able to verify his or her identity and prove he or she has a legitimate reason to send the money, the funds are unfrozen within days, she said.
The money intended for smugglers stays frozen and is eventually funneled into a state anti-racketeering fund that pays for the task force's operations.
During the most recent seizure warrant, from March 11 to April 22, investigators initially froze $4.68 million, then released $714,000. The warrant is still sealed in Maricopa County Superior Court, but officials reported making 55 arrests, detaining 143 illegal immigrants, releasing four people who were held hostage and confiscating weapons, marijuana and cocaine during related investigations.
An earlier search warrant affidavit from November 2004 offered a glimpse into the illegal business.
Documents identified Navarez-Vega as a suspected smuggler who used Western Union to receive money for years from states including Illinois, Louisiana, Virginia, New York and Wisconsin. According to Western Union records, he picked up at least 100 wire transfers in 2004.
When the task force intercepted a wire transfer in October 2004, Navarez-Vega called to recover the money and was drawn into a police sting that also implicated Rodolfo R. Acedo, according to court records.
Acedo is quoted in court documents as saying there is "a lot of competition" in the smuggling business and estimating that he transported about 15 illegal immigrants each week.
"We feel this has been successful," Esquer said. "We've intervened in a number of kidnappings. We've stopped drug smugglers. We've stopped some organizations in human-smuggling. So we feel we've at least made a dent into it."
But some immigration attorneys say the operation freezes money sent for legitimate purposes, even money that is used to pay the U.S. government bonds for illegal immigrants.
Chris Stender, a Phoenix immigration attorney, said his legal assistant routinely used Western Union to receive money to post bonds for clients, but found that a number of transactions were frozen. In some cases, clients were unable to negotiate the system to get the money back or couldn't afford a lawyer to fight for the funds, several attorneys said.
"They were earmarking large dollar transactions," Stender said. "Certainly, there are legitimate reasons to send those types of funds."
Esquer said the money is merely detained and added that it is not necessary to have a lawyer to get the funds released.
But Martinez, the engineer who tried to get the $1,000 sent by his wife, said he got the run-around from Western Union officials and investigators.
After Martinez's wife, Marie, involved contacts from when she worked in the Attorney General's Office, the money was freed. The couple received an apologetic e-mail from the Attorney General's Office that said the system "misfired" in their case.
"If my wife hadn't been an attorney, what would we have done to get that money back?" he said.

I think a good case could be made for prosecution of Western Union on money laundering charges. The are allowing their business to facilitate illegal transactiions. During the 1980's, the banks were made to report all transactions over $10,000.00. This is no different.
The charges:
money laundering
conspiracy-R.I.C.O. -aiding and abetting an on going criminal enterprise
faliure to perform proper due diligence
wire fraud
And those are just the ones of the top of my head. I hope there is a federal prosecutor that will slam them. Take them out and the rest will quit over night.FAR BEYOND DRIVEN

Hi
Sixx,
What about the fact that they contribute to La Raza? Could that also be used against them in a money laundering scheme?
Just curious!
