Celis indicted on two charges
Money laundering is a first-degree felony charge
A Nueces County grand jury handed up two indictments Friday against former law firm operator Mauricio Celis, charging him with money laundering and impersonating a lawyer. The money laundering charge is a first-degree felony punishable by five years to life in prison.
District Attorney Carlos Valdez said the investigation into Celis is essentially over and no one else, including former employees of Celis' firm, is a target. The grand jury's term expires next week.
"If during the course of trial, during the course of preparation, we find something else, we might do it," Valdez said.
