## Resource

A Detroit restaurant owner is facing federal charges for allegedly laundering over $140 million for drug cartels through his business, La Posada. After a two-year investigation, authorities say he made more than 100,000 wire transfers tied to major cartels like Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa. Undercover agents reportedly heard him admit to cocaine sales, and a raid uncovered 50+ IDs. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years per count — a case emblematic of the federal crackdown on money laundering that fuels addiction and violence.
