sān三míng名zhōng guó中国xǐ qián洗钱zǔ zhī组织chéng yuán成员zài在měi guó美国rèn zuì认罪
The U.S. Department of Justice said that recently three people were found guilty by a U.S. court for helping with money laundering.
They are two Chinese citizens and a woman living in New York.
These three people are members of a Chinese money laundering organization that helps others turn illegally obtained money into money that looks legal.
This organization laundered more than ninety million U.S. dollars.
Most of this money came from selling drugs.
Fang Enhua is one of the leaders of this organization. She arranged for others to collect cash across the U.S. and then deposit the money into fake company accounts.
She also frequently changed her phone number and used encrypted software to communicate with other members.
Lu Jianfei was responsible for collecting money from drug dealers and depositing it into banks under different names.
Zhen Shujun, under the arrangements of Fang Enhua and Lu Jianfei, also helped collect and deposit money.
Now, all three people have pleaded guilty.
The U.S. Department of Justice said that all defendants in this money laundering organization have pleaded guilty, and the organization has been cracked down on by U.S. police.
