    Deal to curb drug- and immigrant-smuggled money

    Deal to curb drug- and immigrant-smuggled money

    Associated Press .

    Prosecutors in Arizona will unveil a legal settlement Thursday with Western Union in a dispute that centers on the state's efforts to reduce the flow of immigrant and drug smuggling money through wire transfers.

    The Arizona Attorney General's Office and Western Union wouldn't provide advance details of the deal. Specifics will be provided at a Thursday afternoon news conference.

    Published: February 11, 2010

    Western Union will pay $94 million to settle a long-running battle with Arizona over whether the company turned a blind eye to the use of its services in border-related crime.

    Under the agreement, in which Western Union admitted no wrongdoing, as much as $50 million will go to support law enforcement agencies working to crack down on drug and human smuggling in Arizona and three other border states.
