The trial for William Aossey Jr., 73, founder of Midamar Corp., was reset last week in federal court, reports KCRG News. U.S. District Chief Judge Linda Reade granted the continuance and set the trial for March 9, as requested by Aossey. The government didn’t resist the motion. The trial was previously set for late this month.
Aossey is charged with 19 counts: one count of conspiracy to make false statements, sell misbranded meat, and commit mail and wire fraud; seven counts of making or causing false statements to be made on export applications; seven counts of wire fraud; three counts of money laundering; and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
