AN AMERICAN businessman now in remand for overstaying was accused on Wednesday of 20 charges of money-laundering.
Kamari Kenyada Charlton, 37, a former Florida State University football player, was earlier accused of overstaying for 169 days and cheating an Australian retiree of A$17,142 (S$21,645) in a conspiracy with others.
The fresh charges accuse him of 20 counts of acquiring cash ranging from A$4,769 to A$35,967 for no consideration, and having reasonable grounds to believe that the property directly represented another person's benefits from criminal conduct.
The alleged offences occurred from July 2008 to April this year.
Charton's next pre-trial conference is in Dock 15.
The penalty for each of the money-laundering charge is a fine of up to A$500,000 or up to seven years' jail or to both.
