A Tucson father and his son face up to 20 years in prison for allegedly receiving thousands of dollars in drug money.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment on December 19 against 51-year-old Adalberto C. Gallegos, Jr. and his son, Adalberto G. Gallegos III.

Both men are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The indictment, according to a media release, alleges that father and son conspired with other individuals between February 2004 and July 2006 to conduct financial transactions involving proceeds from marijuana distribution.

Authorities believe Gallegos Jr. set up a Bank of America account in Florida in 2004, which he used to withdraw $270,100 from a Tucson branch.

The indictment alleges Gallegos III controlled an account at the same bank which he opened in Tucson in 2005. He allegedly used the account to receive $61,800 in drug proceeds which had been deposited in Florida.

If found guilty, each of the defendants faces a maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars, a $500,000 fine, or both. Neither is currently in custody. Gallegos III has an outstanding warrant from an unrelated case.
