North Jersey Mother and Daughter Indicted On Fraud and Money Laundering
A mother and daughter from New Jersey have been indicted in a mortgage fraud and money-laundering scheme. Cape May County Herald reports the two women were arrested in June of last year. The women allegedly bought condos by lying about their finances and employers to obtain mortgages. The 29-year-old daughter and the 45-year-old mother were indicted on 10 charges. They were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts each of wire fraud, one count conspiracy to commit money laundering and two counts each of money laundering exceeding $10,000.
