Gonzalez was arrested on Friday when he arrived to a Las Vegas airport and was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to transport stolen property and conspiracy to launder money.

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the money laundering and wire fraud charges and prosecutors are asking for a $1.8 million judgment against him.

A nephew of Gonzalez, Raul Gonzalez Fernandez pled guilty last month in federal court to a drug conspiracy charge.

The indictment, according to Daryl Fields, Public Information Officer for the Western District of Texas, shows that the investigation goes back to 2006 when Co-conspirators were directed to pay a large amount of Mexican pesos from the treasury of the State Government of Coahuila, a large sum of money on or about February of 2006, that a Co-conspirator planned to purchase media outlets for himself and others from various media entities operating within the state of Coahuila.

Bank records revealed that three (3) wire transfers in the amount of $162,758.65, $294,740.08 and $288,769.94 were completed in May of 2009.  The aggregate amount of these transfers is $746,268.67.

Gonzalez remains in federal custody in San Antonio.
