One more charged in Coye Money Laundering case

Also in the courts, police have made yet another arrest in connection with the ongoing investigation by the Financial Intelligence Unit of money laundering in which the Coye family has been charged. The latest person to be charged happens to be a would-be witness in the case. Twenty-five year old Deitrich Kingston, a resident of Saint Jude Street and former employee of Money Gram International, was today arraigned for one count of Money Laundering. The charge was levied after Kingston reportedly indicated to the F.I.U. that he had no intention to help the prosecution against his former employer, Melonie Coye. Kingston appeared before Magistrate Kathleen Lewis where he was offered bail of fifty thousand dollars. He is due back in court on October twenty sixth. According to Kingston’s attorney, Arthur Saldivar, he was forced to give a statement. In that statement he said he would assist the F.I.U. with a sworn testimony against the Coye family. But when the F.I.U. contacted him and he told them he wouldn’t, they charged him as well. The case is in respect to the bust on December thirty first of over one and a half million dollars stashed in suitcases at the Coye’s Johnson Street home.
