Supreme Court of the United States

Regalado Cuellar v. United States

June 2, 2008553 U.S. 550

Summary

The Court reversed Cuellar's money laundering conviction, holding that § 1956(a)(2)(B)(i) does not require proof that the transportation was designed to create the appearance of legitimate wealth. However, evidence showing concealment during transport alone is insufficient because the transportation itself must be designed to conceal.
