(Bloomberg) A former Julius Baer Group Ltd. wealth manager admitted to participating in a billion-dollar scheme to launder money embezzled from Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, less than a month after he was arrested for his alleged role in the plot. Matthias Krull, 44, a German citizen and resident of Panama, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, federal prosecutors in Miami said in a statement. Krull was arrested in July and charged with using real estate in Florida and fake investment schemes to conceal $1.2 billion in funds that were embezzled from PDVSA. He’s scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 29.
