Cabrales (D) was charged with money laundering by an indictment in Missouri. D was alleged to have deposited $40,000 with the AmSouth Bank of Florida and then to make four withdrawals of $9,500 each. The money deposited and withdrawn was traceable to drug sales in Missouri. D moved to dismiss the indictment for improper venue. A conspiracy count was upheld, but other charges were dismissed as the deposit and withdrawals occurred in Florida. The government appealed. The Eighth Circuit Affirmed and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
