SAN DIEGO—The lead investor of a company that was sold to San Diego’s Qualcomm for more than $150 million—which prosecutors allege was part of a fraudulent scheme involving one of Qualcomm’s former employees—pleaded guilty Oct. 5 to a federal money laundering charge.
Ali Akbar Shokouhi, 64, of San Diego, was charged last year for his role in allegedly selling a microchip technology start-up known as Abreezio to the San Diego tech giant in 2015.
