Glenis Zapata, 34, of Lafayette, is accused of assisting traffickers in moving drug money from the Midwest to the southern part of the United States and into Mexico.
According to the indictment, Zapata, who worked as a flight attendant at the time of her arrest, allegedly used her employment to help the traffickers.
The cartel named in the case is believed to have moved thousands of pounds of cocaine and laundered tens of millions of dollars in profits.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Illinois says other means were used to transport the money including semi-trucks and a private charter airplane.
Two bank employees were also named in the indictment, 33-year-old Ilenis Zapata and 39-year-old Georgina Banuelos, both of Lafayette, who were accused of exchanging lower denomination bills for high denomination bills.
