Henriquez to jail

[NewsWhore]

Fatima Henriquez, the only person charged in the Quirino Drug Case, and the only one not to negotiate with the judiciary has been found guilty of money laundering. Judge Kimba Woods has yet to issue the jail sentence. Henriquez's lawyer Eric Franz maintained his client's innocence, claiming that she had been duped into her role in the drug smuggling ring. Henriquez admits that she did send money to accused Luis David Ulloa in Santo Domingo. Ulloa had been deported from the US and Henriquez claims that Ulloa told her he was in the construction business. There's been a great deal of smoke in regards to the Quirino case. Some media outlets are claiming that the former military captain has negotiated a deal with prosecutors, though nothing has been confirmed. Listin Diario is also reporting the charges against Quirino's family in the DR have been dropped and they have been allowed to travel to the US. Finally, Listin also reports that National District Attorney General Alejandro Moscoso Segarra has traveled to the US to finish working out the details of Quirino's deal. At the moment this is all speculation, though. Adding to the rumors is a story published by Diario Libre that quotes US federal prosecutor John J. O'Donnell, saying that all the accused have struck deals, except for Henriquez.
