Ruby Corado Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud

arrested and charged in March with fraud and money laundering for diverting $150,000 — which was taken from a larger pool of $1.3 million that Casa Ruby had obtained through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs — into bank accounts held in El Salvador under her birth name, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.Prosecutors claimed Corado passed the money through her consulting company, TIGlobal, in an attempt to circumvent the Small Business Administration’s earlier denial of her EIDL application.Corado was temporarily jailed and placed in solitary confinement for her own protection, until a federal judge decided to release Corado and placed her under house arrest, with GPS monitoring, at the home of a niece in Rockville, Maryland.On Wednesday, July 17, Corado entered a plea deal in which she agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and give up all proceeds traceable to her offense, in exchange for the government dropping a much larger six-count complaint in which she was charged with bank fraud, money laundering, monetary transactions in criminally derived proceeds, and failure to file a report of a foreign bank account.The wire fraud offense is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.But under federal sentencing guidelines, due to it being Corado’s first offense and the crime not involving violence, Corado could receive a much lighter sentence.Prosecutors have argued that the sentence would fall between 33 to 41 months in prison, while her defense team estimates that she could serve between 15 and 21 months, reports The Washington Post.Corado is next scheduled to appear in court on January 10, 2025, for sentencing.

Man guilty of murdering partner's son, 3, after 'horrendous' campaign of cruelty
beatings.Convicted drug dealer 32-year-old Nathaniel Pope was found unanimously guilty of inflicting more than 20 rib fractures on defenceless Kemarni Watson Darb which led to his death.The toddler was tragically found "lifeless" at home in West Bromwich, West Midlands, on June 5, 2018, after suffering what prosecutors describe as a "vicious, forceful assault".The verdict was given by a Birmingham Crown Court jury on Tuesday after hearing evidence that little Kemarni’s body had 34 separate areas of external injuries.Kemarni’s mother, 30-year-old Alicia Watson, was cleared of murdering her son but found guilty of causing or allowing the child’s death.The four-month trial was told Watson and Pope – who blamed each other from the witness box – were “partners in crime” and continued to live together for several months after Kemarni’s death.The youngster died from abdominal injuries on the afternoon of June 5 2018, after his ribcage was “crushed” at the couple’s two-bedroom flat in West Bromwich.Pope, of Wolverhampton, and Watson, of Handsworth, Birmingham, were also convicted of a single court each of child cruelty to Kemarni between May 1 and June 5 2018, relating to the infliction of rib fractures and an abdominal injury prior to the fatal injury.The pair were also separately convicted of two further counts of child cruelty in relation to other children.Both will be sentenced at a later date.In December Birmingham Crown Court heard that to punish three-year-old Kemarni Watson Darby, Nathaniel Pope would allegedly shut him in a bedroom by wrapping a door handle with a wire so he could not escape until he ‘calmed down’.According to Birmingham Live, tragic Kemarni's abdomen had been split which caused a "massive" internal

'Fanatical terrorist' Ali Harbi Ali found guilty of murdering MP Sir David Amess at surgery
stabbing Southend West MP Sir David Amess, has been found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey after a judge said he had no legal defence.Ali, 26, said in evidence on Thursday that he stabbed the long-serving Conservative MP at his regular surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on 15 October 2021 as "retribution for airstrikes" in Syria.The Islamic State fanatic carried out the “cold and calculating” murder at the veteran MP’s constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15 last year.He told the Old Bailey trial he had no regrets about the murder, defending his actions by saying Sir David deserved to die as a result of voting in Parliament for air strikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.A jury deliberated for just 18 minutes to find Ali guilty of murder and preparing for terrorist acts.Ali sent a manifesto on WhatsApp to family and friends seeking to justify his actions around the time of the attack, telling Sir David he was “sorry” before plunging the knife into him, causing the politician to scream.He died at the scene.Knife-wielding Ali was later apprehended by two police officers armed only with batons and spray.Essex Police Chief Superintendent Simon Anslow praised his officers’ “astounding bravery” in tackling Ali.He said: “They’ve basically gone in armed with a stick – something that appears smaller than a deodorant can – to deal with a man that has just committed an absolutely heinous act, still armed with that knife.“I think it’s an astounding act of bravery.”Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC said the murder was “the most appalling tragedy”, particularly for the Amess family, and an “attack on democracy”.He said: “I’m obviously pleased that at the end of what must have been a very difficult trial for Sir
