Two Chinese nationals and a California man pleaded guilty to money laundering charges involving drug trafficking proceeds, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina announced on May 1.

Xia Maoxuan, 29, of China, Lin Shao Neng, 58, of Baldwin Park, California, and Yu Zhou, 42, of China, were members of a Chinese money laundering organization (CMLO) that laundered more than $92 million in illicit drug proceeds primarily through Mexico.
