PHOENIX - Several members of a Douglas family have been sentenced in a large-scale money laundering operation dating back to 2006.
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne says Gilberto Escalante, the head of the Escalante family, was sentenced to an aggravated sentence of eight years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of money laundering. His ex-wife, Niomi Escalante, and sister, Angelica Escalante, were both given a sentence of five years' probation. Niomi was also ordered to pay back approximately $21,000 to the State of Arizona for fraud committed against the AHCCCS and food stamp system as part of her plea.
The plea agreements for all individuals required that the defendants forfeit all interest in the property located at 2902 N. Udall Street in Pirtleville, Arizona. This 36-acre property was purchased in 2007 by Angelica Escalante and Niomi Escalante while Gilberto Escalante was in prison serving a sentence for a conviction of Conducting an Illegal Enterprise, stemming from his drug trafficking activities.
While in prison, he directed the construction of a 2,500 square foot home and a 3,000 square foot horse stable. This property was purchased and built with the money derived from Gilberto Escalante's illegal activities. Gilberto Escalante was convicted in 1992 of Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute Marijuana. In 2005, he was convicted in Pima County Superior Court of Illegally Conducting an Enterprise, again stemming from drug trafficking activities.
The property has been forfeited to the State of Arizona as the proceeds of racketeering offenses and will be sold. The proceeds of this sale will go towards supporting further law enforcement efforts targeted at investigating and prosecuting other racketeering offenses.
This case was investigated by the Border Crimes Enforcement Section of the Arizona Attorney General's Office, the Douglas Police Department, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

CLIFTON — Residents of Graham, Greenlee and northern Cochise counties who require the services of the Mexican Consulate soon won't have to make the trip to Douglas.
Oscar Francisco Holguin Gonzalez, acting Mexican consul in Douglas, said his office will stage a mobile consulate at Southeastern Arizona Community Action Program, 253 W. 5th St., Safford, on Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Gonzalez said Safford was chosen as the most accessible center point for those coming north from Willcox, east from Duncan and south from Morenci and Clifton.
Consulates offer a number of services to both American and Mexican citizens, including:
• Tourism information
• Passports
• Citizenship and naturalization
• Acquisitions by foreigners
• Constitution of trusts
• Warrant or letter rogatory
• Other official government paperwork processing such as travel visas
Gonzalez was a guest speaker at the Growing Greenlee stakeholders meeting in Clifton on Wednesday. In addition to the mobile consulate, he talked about expanding trade and economic development along the border.
"The United States and Mexico are strategic economic allies; Mexico is the second most important trade partner for the U.S.," Gonzalez said.
Mexico is also the top trade partner with the State of Arizona, totaling about $13.4 billion. There are about 1.6 million Mexicans living in the state.
"We are looking at fostering sustained economic growth," Gonzalez said. "Mexican demand and purchasing power is growing."
