SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 6 – Sekhou Toure pleaded
guilty from jail on May 6 to
bank fraud; he will be
sentenced in August.
Back in August
2018 he deposited $26,000 of
NYC Human Resources
Administration checks that
weren't his in accounts in
Bank of America and TD Bank in
Manhattan, and withdrew the
money from ATMs on 149th
Street in The Bronx.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni asked
Toure, Are you a U.S.
citizen?
Yes, he
said.
Judge Caproni
asked, Where were you
born?
Toure said, West
Africa... Senegal. My father
was a U.S.
citizen.
His co-defendants
include Salifou Conde,
Aboubakar Bakayoko and Sylvain
Gnali Gnahore. The case is US
v. Toure, 19-cr-808
(Caproni).
