Woman admits to illegal gambling scam, new indictment against co-actors
A woman admitted to her role in an illegal gambling scheme.
Juanita Capulong pleaded guilty to conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, money laundering conspiracy, and money laundering.
She is the latest among six defendants to admit guilt in the District Court of Guam.
Capulong remains freed and is scheduled to appear back in court on Jan. 7 of next year.
Federal prosecutors today also got a superseding indictment handed down against co-defendants Michael Marasigan, Jose Chan Jr., and Christine Chan.
The trio are facing charges of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, money laundering conspiracy, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The feds said the group operated an illegal gambling business and as a result of the conspiracy, bingo proceeds upwards of $34 million were deposited into various Guam Shrine Club bank and credit union accounts.
