Prominent Florida Lawyer Pleads Guilty in Money-Laundering Case
Alan Koslow, one of South Florida’s most effective lawyers, pleaded guilty Thursday to a money-laundering conspiracy charge.
Federal prosecutors charged him earlier this year with helping people he thought were criminals to hide the source of $220,000 linked to illegal gambling and drug dealing of cocaine and counterfeit Viagra, reports the Sun Sentinel. The transactions were actually part of an undercover FBI sting.
In his Nov. 10 sentencing, Koslow will lose his law license and will face up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
The Sun Sentinel’s Paula McMahon reports: “Koslow accepted $8,500 from undercover agents as payment for laundering cash by running it through his friend Susan Mohr’s business bank account in Fort Lauderdale during several months in 2012 and 2013, according to court records.”
