Levinson Brito Gonzalez
Charged, not convicted. Brito Gonzalez faces a two-count federal indictment charging money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business across a two-and-a-half-year span. An indictment is an accusation; he is presumed innocent.
Introduction
Levinson Brito Gonzalez, 35, of Omaha, Nebraska, is charged in a two-count indictment returned by the federal grand jury for the District of Nebraska . Count I charges conspiracy to commit money laundering from at least in or around January 2024 through at least in or around June 30, 2026 — an offense carrying up to 20 years’ imprisonment, a $500,000 fine, and a 3-year term of supervised release . Count II charges conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business over the same span, beginning on or about January 2024 and continuing through on or about June 30, 2026, carrying up to 5 years’ imprisonment and a $250,000 fine .
Background Information
U.S. Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced the indictment within the October 2026 grand jury roundup for the District of Nebraska, which unsealed nine indictments charging ten defendants . Brito Gonzalez is the roundup’s only defendant charged with money laundering rather than a predicate offense, and the alleged conduct window is the longest in the batch — roughly two and a half years, from January 2024 to the end of June 2026 . The release states the counts and penalties but does not describe the alleged laundering mechanism, the amounts involved, or any underlying proceeds .
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
The indictment’s structure pairs two theories about the same alleged activity: that money was laundered, and that an unlicensed money transmitting business moved it . The first count alleges conspiracy to commit money laundering across the full January 2024 to June 2026 window; the second alleges the conspiracy to run the transmission business without a license across the identical period, which is how prosecutors frame parallel liability for the same flow of funds . The combined exposure is up to 25 years and $750,000 in fines across the two counts if convicted on both .
Public Reaction and Consequences
The case entered public view on October 23, 2026 with the roundup’s unsealing, and it is unadjudicated: no plea, no trial date, no announced hearings . The release’s caution governs — the counts are “merely accusations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty” . No statement from Brito Gonzalez or counsel appears in the release, and no investigating agency is named for his case .
Current Status
Brito Gonzalez, 35, is charged but not convicted, with the two-count indictment pending in the District of Nebraska . The release does not state whether he has been arrested or arraigned, whether he is in custody, or when the case’s first court appearance will occur . The charging document — a money laundering conspiracy and an unlicensed money transmitting conspiracy spanning thirty months — is the entirety of the public record so far .
Impact on Their Career/Life
Brito Gonzalez’s name now surfaces in a published federal indictment alleging a money laundering operation that ran from early 2024 into mid-2026 — the longest alleged conduct window of any defendant in Nebraska’s October 2026 grand jury batch. The unlicensed-transmission count puts the alleged operation in the same regulatory territory as formal money services businesses, and the 20-year ceiling on the laundering count marks it as a serious federal exposure. Until the case resolves, the indictment is the record.
