A man already under indictment for racketeering and money laundering was arrested for his part in a rental property scam.
Andres Torres, 47, was charged with theft, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office, which added that more counts and charges are expected as the investigation continues.
The office said Torres has been advertising a condo for rent on Craigslist that wasn’t his to sell, and that he unlawfully collected deposit and rent money.
Torres was indicted last July along with several members of his family, accused of forging checks and loan applications, and then using the money for personal gain. They are also accused of using false employment information to secure car loans, creating fraudulent documents to remove the liens and then securing the cars’ titles to resell the cars.
He is scheduled to appear in Denver District Court the morning of Dec. 4 for arraignment in the racketeering case and then again later that afternoon to be advised of the charge in the second case.
