Cali, Colombia - The Colombian National Attorney General's Office confirmed the arrest of Jaime Edery-Crivosei, 54, an alleged drug trafficker who operates a major Cali money laundering enterprise. He was taken into custody on Friday by federal authorities in Cali under an extradition request by the U.S. government. Edery-Crivosei allegedly is connected with the Lebanese Colombian nationals Jorge Fadlallah Cheaitelly and Mohamad Zouheir El Khansa international money laundering network.
Last Thursday, the three suspects were named by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in a designated act for operating an elaborate international money laundering network with drug trafficking proceeds from Mexican and Colombian cartels.
OFAC also designated other Colombian members of the Cheaitelly/El Khansa criminal organization, including Barranquilla-based drug trafficker Benny Issa Fawaz and Maicao-based money launderer Ali Mohamad Saleh. Jorge Cheaitelly’s key financial associates are also targeted, including his siblings, Jaime Fadlallah Cheaitelly, Guiseppe Al Cheaitelly Saheli, and Fatima Fadlallath Cheaitelly, and two Lebanon-based associates, Fawaz Mohamad Rahal and Ahmed El Khansa. OFAC also targeted and named 28 entities in Colombia, Panama, Lebanon, and Hong Kong with ties to Jorge Cheaitelly and Mohamad El Khansa.
OFAC's designated action was taken under pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) prohibits U.S. persons from conducting financial or commercial transactions with the entities and individuals named and freezes any assets the designees may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
Jorge Cheaitelly leads a Panama-based drug trafficking and money laundering organization that stretches across the globe, spanning the Americas, the Middle East, and Hong Kong.
