Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in a press release. \u201cProfessor Bagley admitted today to laundering money for corrupt foreign nationals \u2013 the proceeds of bribery and corruption, stolen from the citizens of Venezuela. Bagley now faces the possibility of a long tenure in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"ConnatixVideoAd\" class=\"\">\n<div class=\"connatix\">\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">THE SENTENCING HEARING FOR THE 73-YEAR-OLD PROFESSOR WAS SET FOR OCT. 1. EACH MONEY LAUNDERING COUNT CARRIES A MAXIMUM SENTENCE OF 20 YEARS IN PRISON.<\/span><span class=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"zone-el-101\" class=\"zone-el\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">Bagley \u2013 author of several books, including \u201cDrug Trafficking, Organized Crime, and Violence in the Americas Today,\u201d received monthly deposits of approximately $200,000 from Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates into the bank account of the company he had created, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zone-el-102\" class=\"zone-el\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">He would then withdraw approximately 90 percent of the funds in the form of a cashier\u2019s check, payable to an account held by another individual, and send the remainder of the funds to his personal account. Between November 2017 and October 2018, his company\u2019s bank account received approximately $2.5 million from the overseas accounts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Federal prosecutors say Bagley, who was often quoted by the news media on subjects ranging from violent drug traffickers in Mexico to guerrilla politics in Colombia, parlayed his mastery of Latin American crime into a secret side job and kept about $300,000 as a fee for himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">An FBI investigation culminated in mid-November when South Florida agents arrested Bagley, shocking the University of Miami and fellow academics across Latin America. UM officials said he was placed on administrative leave and declined further comment. Faculty members who know him said Bagley, despite a seemingly fruitful career in academia, was having personal and financial problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">According to the New York indictment, the illicit funds were diverted from a food company controlled by a Colombian individual into Bagley\u2019s South Florida bank accounts as a consultant. While that individual is not identified, the Miami Herald has learned from several law enforcement and legal sources that he is Colombian businessman Alex Saab.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Saab for allegedly profiting from a no-bid contract to import food to Venezuela for President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s socialist government \u2014 the very deal in which Bagley consulted Saab, sources told the Herald. In July, Saab also was indicted in Miami federal court on charges of money laundering tied to a public housing program run by Maduro. Bagley was not implicated in that case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Miami professor Bruce Bagley pleaded guilty on Monday to two counts of money
