A Florida jury on Monday found former offshore service provider and
soi-disant financial whizzkid, Marc M. Harris guilty on 16 of the 30
counts of money laundering and tax evasion with which he was charged
by the US authorities.
A former resident of both Panama and Nicaragua, Harris was expelled
from the country by the Nicaraguan authorities in June to stand
trial in connection with the tax evasion cases of father and son
Freon (a banned refrigerant) smugglers, Tony and Joseph Vigna, and
beauty aid suppliers, Moses and Frank Krieger. The men claimed that
Harris had masterminded the schemes for which they were standing
trial.
