Brownsville man pleads guilty to smuggling $800,000 in cash
McALLEN — A Brownsville man agreed Monday to plead guilty to federal cash smuggling charges during a re-arraignment hearing, court records show.
U.S. District Judge Randy Crane accepted Reynaldo Del Castillo’s guilty plea of one count of bulk cash smuggling into or out of the U.S. The plea is related to his involvement in the movement of nearly $800,000 from the U.S. into Mexico in April 2016, documents show.
Del Castillo was indicted on the bulk cash charge Sept. 25, 2018 and arrested just a few months later in December.
The indictment states that on April 27, 2016, Del Castillo knowingly concealed $762,870.00 and attempted to transport that currency from the United States to Mexico.
