WASHINGTON -- A federal jury in Florida found a Brazilian national guilty of conspiring to launder US$13.5 million from a fraudulent telemarketing scheme in his home country, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Rodrigo Molina, 32, was convicted Wednesday after a seven-day trial and could be sentenced to up to 50 years in prison, the department said in a statement. He was arrested along with fellow Brazilian Marcos Neto Macchione in Florida in a police operation that also netted 18 suspects in Brazil, including the alleged fraud boss Doron Mukamal.
