El t\u00edo Sam, sin embargo, lo quiere a \u00e9l primero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Un gran jurado federal acus\u00f3 a Luis Hern\u00e1ndez Gonz\u00e1lez de lavado de dinero, lo que llev\u00f3 a un juez de un tribunal de distrito de Estados Unidos a ordenar la semana pasada que fuera trasladado de una c\u00e1rcel del condado de Miami-Dade a un centro de detenci\u00f3n federal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La decisi\u00f3n provoc\u00f3 una especie de enfrentamiento legal el lunes, cuando sus abogados defensores se apresuraron a acudir a los tribunales para intentar convencer a un juez estatal de que ordenara que la c\u00e1rcel de Miami-Dade rechazara los intentos de las autoridades federales de transportarlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Hay importantes derechos constitucionales en juego\", dijo al juez el abogado defensor Philip Reizenstein. \u201cTenemos la ley de nuestro lado. Esto apesta.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El juez de circuito de Miami-Dade, Nushin Sayfie, que dirige la divisi\u00f3n penal, se mostr\u00f3 comprensivo pero no pudo hacer mucho. \u201cLa ley federal es la ley suprema del pa\u00eds\u201d, dijo, y agreg\u00f3: \u201cSimplemente no creo que sea el tribunal apropiado dado mi lugar en el orden jer\u00e1rquico\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sus abogados planean presentar una apelaci\u00f3n de emergencia ante el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Tercer Distrito, un tribunal estatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Las maniobras legales a\u00f1aden otro giro a la sonada saga de Hern\u00e1ndez Gonz\u00e1lez, quien fue arrestado por la polic\u00eda de Miami-Dade en junio en una redada sin precedentes. La mayor parte del efectivo se encontr\u00f3 en 24 \u201ccubos multiusos de Homer\u201d de color naranja de Home Depot, que estaban escondidos en un compartimento secreto dentro de su casa en Miami Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La polic\u00eda de Miami-Dade se llev\u00f3 el dinero en una camioneta y los detectives de narc\u00f3ticos pasaron m\u00e1s de un d\u00eda contando exhaustivamente el alijo. El departamento public\u00f3 fotograf\u00edas de los cubos escondidos en la habitaci\u00f3n y de la inmensa pila de dinero en efectivo una vez que se sacaron los billetes de los cubos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez Gonz\u00e1lez dirigi\u00f3 Blossom Experience, una tienda del norte de Miami-Dade que vende ventiladores, luces y otros equipos para jardiner\u00eda interior. Los polic\u00edas creen que el negocio, aunque legal, atiende a traficantes de marihuana que cultivan marihuana en laboratorios clandestinos dentro de las casas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los investigadores allanaron sus negocios y su casa despu\u00e9s de que lo sorprendieran en una escucha telef\u00f3nica dando consejos a cultivadores de marihuana de Miami arrestados por agentes federales en Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pero su equipo de defensa insiste en que el dinero se obtuvo leg\u00edtimamente vendiendo equipos. Sin embargo, afirman que, debido a que vende a productores legales en otros estados, ning\u00fan banco aceptar\u00eda su efectivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez Gonz\u00e1lez permanece encarcelado y acusado en un tribunal estatal de tr\u00e1fico de marihuana y lavado de dinero. Sin embargo, el mes pasado, las autoridades federales revelaron una acusaci\u00f3n del gran jurado derivada de la misma incautaci\u00f3n de efectivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Se le acusa a nivel federal de lavar dinero y realizar transacciones financieras ilegales para ocultar el dinero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Un fiscal federal, que compareci\u00f3 por tel\u00e9fono en el estado el lunes, no pudo decir por qu\u00e9 la Fiscal\u00eda Federal no pudo esperar hasta el final del juicio estatal en diciembre. \"Es desafortunado que pueda causar un retraso en el proceso, pero tenemos inter\u00e9s en traerlo aqu\u00ed y procesarlo a nivel federal\", dijo el fiscal federal Elijah Levitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/local\/crime\/article116210493.html\" target=\"_blank\"

his trial in state court next month. Uncle Sam, however, wants him first. A federal grand jury has indicted Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez on money-laundering charges, prompting a U.S. district court judge last week to order that he be moved from a Miami-Dade county jail to a federal detention center. The decision prompted a legal showdown of sorts on Monday, as his defense lawyers rushed to court to try and convince a state judge to order that the Miami-Dade jail refuse federal authorities attempts to transport him. \u201cThere are important constitutional rights at stake,\u201d defense lawyer Philip Reizenstein told the judge. \u201cWe have the law on our side. This stinks.\u201d Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Nushin Sayfie, who heads the criminal division, was sympathetic but couldn\u2019t do much. \u201cFederal law is the supreme law of the land,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cI just don\u2019t think I am the appropriate tribunal given where I fall in the pecking order.\u201d His lawyers are planning to file an emergency appeal to the Third District Court of Appeal, a state court. The legal jockeying adds another twist to the high-profile saga of Hernandez-Gonzalez, who was arrested by Miami-Dade Police in June in a record-setting bust. Most of the cash was found in 24 orange \u201cHomer\u2019s all purpose buckets\u201d from Home Depot, which were hidden in a secret compartment inside his Miami Lakes house. Miami-Dade police hauled away the money in a pickup truck, with narcotics detectives spending more than a day exhaustively counting the stash. The department released photos of the buckets hidden in the room \u2013 and the immense pile of cash once the bills were removed from the buckets. Hernandez-Gonzalez ran Blossom Experience, a North Miami-Dade store that sells fans, lights and other equipment for indoor gardening. Cops believe that the business, while legal, caters to marijuana traffickers growing weed in clandestine labs inside homes. Investigators raided his businesses and home after he was caught on a phone wiretap giving growing advice to Miami marijuana growers arrested by federal agents in Tennessee. But his defense team insists that the money was legitimately earned from selling equipment. However, because he sells to legal growers in other states, no banks would take his cash, they claim. Hernandez-Gonzalez remains jailed and is charged in state court with marijuana trafficking and money laundering. However, last month, federal authorities unsealed a grand-jury indictment stemming from the same cash seizure. He is accused federally of laundering the money and conducting illegal financial transactions to hide the money. A federal prosecutor, appearing by phone in state on Monday, could not say why the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office could not wait until the end of the state trial in December. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that it may cause a delay in the proceedings but we do have an interest in bringing him over here and prosecuting him federally,\u201d federal prosecutor Elijah Levitt said. miamiherald.com Latest Posts School fight caught on cameraAugust 18, 2023 Cops took $22 million cash stuffed in buckets from his home.
