Nunez-Florez, who worked at the bank’s Scotch Plains branch, accepted bribes and used his position to facilitate a money laundering network’s scheme from March 2021 to October 2023, federal authorities said. The scheme involved the transferring of more than $26 million between the United States and the country of Colombia.

He opened dozens of bank accounts under the names of shell companies, most of which were opened with no customer present, officials said. About 600 debit cards were eventually issued for those accounts and the cards were used to make more than 120,000 ATM withdraws in Colombia, according to federal prosecutors.
