At a hearing before United States District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos held yesterday morning, Lopez, Martinez and Clarkson admitted they worked together to launder funds embezzled from Sherwin Alumina. The investigation began when Sherwin Alumina became aware that Lopez, one of Sherwin Alumina’s warehouse managers, had colluded with two of Sherwin’s vendors, Clarkson and Martinez, in a fraud scheme which caused Sherwin Alumina to mail payments for materials that were never actually delivered. Agents with the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI) were able to determine that the proceeds of the fraud were laundered as they were transferred among the participants in a series of monetary transactions. The federal indictment, returned Sept. 14, 2011, alleged 14 monetary transactions each in excess of $10,000, occurring between Feb. 12, 2007, and Nov. 26, 2007.
