UNITED STATES V. CABRALES

524 U.S. 1 (1998)

NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from the dismissal of indictments for money laundering with respect to a dispute over venue.

FACTS: Cabrales (D) was charged with money laundering by an indictment in Missouri. D was alleged to have deposited $40,000 with the AmSouth Bank of Florida and then to make four withdrawals of $9,500 each. The money deposited and withdrawn was traceable to drug sales in Missouri. D moved to dismiss the indictment for improper venue. A conspiracy count was upheld but other charges were dismissed as the deposit and withdrawals occurred in Florida. The government appealed. The Eighth Circuit Affirmed and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
