Money Laundering
Disrupted, DEA Says
By Sharon LaFraniere
Washington Post Staff Writer
Federal drug enforcement offi-
cials said yesterday they have dis-
rupted the money-laundering wing
of the leading Colombian cocaine
cartel by arresting more than 150
people in six countries and seizing
nearly $42 million in illegal drug
profits.
Drug Enforcement Administra-
tion officials said the three-year
undercover effort was the first in-
stance of international cooperation
on; a drug-money-laundering case
and the first time authorities uncov-
ered enough evidence to link the
Colombian Cali drug cartel to the
Sicilian Mafia.
Among those charged were sev-
en top money managers for the Cali
cartel, now Columbia's most pow-
erful cocaine-trafficking organiza-
tion, according to the DEA. Tom
Clifford, a DEA supervisor in San
Diego who coordinated the inves-
tigation, estimated that the cartel
still employs dozens of other top
money managers. But a DEA
spokesman said, "we have taken a

real bite out of their hide with these
seven guys."
In Rome, a top-ranking Italian
police official said the arrests would
damage the alliance between the
Colombian cartel and the Sicilian
Mafia. "We have carried out many
operations with the Americans but
this is the biggest and most signif-
icant," said police official Achille
Serra. -
After Attorney General William
P. Barr authorized the investigation
in September 1989, Clifford said,
DEA agents established a phony
investment consulting firm named
Trans Americas Ventures Associ-
ates. Undercover agents relied on
informants to introduce-the "firm"
to the Cali cartel as an efficient col-
lector of drug profits.
"Our whole purpose was to ar-
range the collection .. of funds,"
said Clifford. "We told them we
had. the capability to collect any-
where in the world. We told them
" we had representatives in other :!- convince the seven alleged money
countries."
At the suggestion of cartel oper-
atives, he said, undercover agents
set up fake leather goods busi-
nesses, leasing warehouses in
Houston; Fort Lauderdale, Miami,
Chicago and New York. The cartel
members shipped a token amount of
merchandise but pretended to ex-
port much more. That generated
false paperwork they could then use
to justify their Colombian bank de-
posits of illegal drug profits, Clifford
said.
Clifford said it took a year to es-
tablish the phony corporation, an-
other year to win the trust of the
cartel and a third to actually run the
operation. "Very slowly, they came
to trust us," he said.
Just before the arrests, under-
cover agents arranged to receive
cocaine shipments that were then
: seized. Three hundred kilos of co-
caine is still "on its way on a boat,"
he said.
,Undercover agents were able to
brokers to leave Colombia for meet-
ings and parties in San Diego, Costa
Rica and Italy. DEA Administrator
Robert C. Bonner said that while
some were arrested abroad, he ex-
pects all seven to be tried in the
United States.
Bonner said 112 arrests took
place in the United States, 29 in
Italy and the rest in Canada, Eng-
land, Spain and Costa Rica. Italian
police officials said one defendant,
who had 12 different identities, de-
vised some of the cartel's more in-
genious methods of smuggling
drugs into Europe. Italians ident -
fied five bogus organizations that
helped the cartel launder money,
including one posing as an animal
rights group, police said.
About 70 of those arrested in the
United States were "cell heads and
cell members"-worker bees in the
cartel, according to Clifford. The
rest were more significant players,
he said.
