EL PASO, Texas - Prosecutors want a former Carnegie Mellon University
trustee accused of money laundering to forfeit $2.5 million in cash.
An indictment filed this week in Texas alleges that El Paso lawyer and
philanthropist Marco Delgado defrauded a firm doing business with a Mexican
utility of millions and used that money on a lavish lifestyle.
Delgado faces another indictment accusing him of conspiring to launder more
than $600 million for a Mexican drug cartel.
The new indictment says Delgado misrepresented himself to move $32 million
from his client to an account he controlled in the Caribbean.
Delgado maintains his innocence.
In 2003, Delgado donated $250,000 to create a scholarship at Carnegie Mellon
named after him. It's not clear from the indictment if that money came from the
alleged scheme.
