9/21/00 - U.S., Panama Detect Money Laundering Firms PANAMA (Sept. 21) XINHUA - Two Panamanian firms have been found by United States and Panamanian drug authorities to be involved in a 10-million dollar money-laundering scheme for an international network, the local press reported on Thursday. Speed Jewelers and Live Silver, both at the Colon Free Zone, about 80 kilometers from Panama City, laundered money coming from gold trafficking. The investigation, which began in April 1999 by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Panama's Attorney-General's drug office, have disclosed that "Speed Jewelers" was involved in false invoicing, delivery of large amounts of cash and checks to third parties, bank dispensed checks and electronic transfers, to conceal and whitewash drug-trafficking activities. Yardena Hebroni, a Panamanian woman of Israeli origin and the owner of Speed Jewelers, was detained last Sunday at Newark International Airport, New Jersey, in the United States, while enroute from Panama to Rome, Italy. 21/09/2000 13:29 GMT Copyright XINHUA NEWS AGENCY
