ALBANY — An Amsterdam man admitted Tuesday to distributing drugs and laundering money in the Amsterdam area, federal prosecutors said.
Angelo Dalmau, 54, pleaded guilty to distributing crack cocaine between September 2021 and March 2022.
He also admitted to laundering money and possessing a pistol in furtherance of drug trafficking, prosecutors said.
He admitted to selling about 250 grams of crack cocaine on five occasions during that time. He also admitted to delivering $149,500 in drug trafficking proceeds to another person in January 2022 for the purpose of laundering the money, prosecutors said.
Investigators searched his residence in April 2022 and found about 100 grams of crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, $191,843 in cash and a pistol with ammunition, prosecutors said.
Dalmau was arrested then and has remained in custody.
He is expected to receive 7 years, 9 months in prison at his August sentencing, officials said.
The case was investigated by the DEA, IRS and the Amsterdam Police Department, officials said. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dustin Segovia and Emmet O'Hanlon are prosecuting.
