Judge rules cash evidence in Ballivian money laundering case
U S District Judge James DeAnda allowed almost 2 million dollars in cash seized from a Houston woman en route to Bolivia to be used as evidence in the trial of Ana Maria Ballivian de Oraa 27. The court kept the money temporarily as trial material while noting questions about seizure legality. The luggage was seized in Houston after check-in before she boarded to Miami and she was arrested there while attempting to fly to La Paz. Her attorney Kent Schaffer contends the bags were seized before she had a chance to commit wrongdoing.
