BERGEN COUNTY, NJ – The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office announced the arrests of Luis N. Vazquez-Alvarez, 37, of Philadelphia, PA, and Juan Carrion-Torres, 45, of Camden, NJ, on charges of money laundering.
Prosecutor Mark Musella credited the Narcotic Task Force for the arrests following a traffic stop on October 26.
During the stop, conducted as part of a narcotics investigation, detectives found Vazquez-Alvarez and Carrion-Torres transporting $23,605.00 U.S. currency, suspected to have originated from criminal activities.
Consequently, both men were charged with third-degree money laundering. They were later released on summons, with their initial appearance scheduled in Central Judicial Processing Court, Hackensack, NJ.
The charges are accusations, and the accused are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
