NEWS RELEASE:
District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Abdoul Aziz Bah (DOB 05/31/94), also known as Richard Anderson of Stockbridge, Georgia, pled guilty on August 27, 2024, to one felony count of money laundering.
In April 2023, while using the false name Richard Anderson, Bah created multiple false limited liability corporations (LLCs) for the sole purpose of receiving and laundering large amounts of cash stolen from real estate transactions. On March 1, 2023, a Newbury Park family was defrauded on their attempted purchase of a local home by inadvertently following fraudulent wire instructions directing them to wire over $200,000 to an account that was actually under the control of Bah, not the victims’ escrow company.
Bah is scheduled to be sentenced on September 26, 2024, at 8:30 am in courtroom 26 of the Ventura County Superior Court where he faces up to three years in jail.

Ventura County District Attorney's Office Erik Nasarenko, has a conflict of interest in Case 2024004044. See for yourself. He was required to remove his office from my case according to California Bar Association requirements and deliberately is not doing so because of his friendship with Mayor of City of Port Hueneme - Government Misty Perez! Who has violated her oath of office by threatening to have her friend Chief of the Ventura District Attorney Office to make false criminal charges against me.
📌REMINDER: County offices will be closed Monday, Sept. 2 for Labor Day.
Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, September 3.
Have a happy Labor Day weekend!

Feds say LA car rental lot was a 'crime tourism' hub that targeted Ventura County homes
www.vcstar.com
Six people were arrested Wednesday and charged with running a "crime tourism" ring that robbed homes and businesses in Ventura County and elsewhere.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko and Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff joined United States Attorney Martin Estrada, and FBI Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis, along with our law enforcement task force partners, announcing federal charges against six individuals. These individuals are accused of running a rental car agency that facilitated "crime tourists" using rental cars to break into homes and businesses in Ventura County, Los Angeles, Orange, and cities across Southern California, causing over $35 million in damages.
Law enforcement today arrested six defendants that a federal grand jury charged in a 46-count indictment alleging a Santa Clarita Valley man facilitated a crime tourism group of South Americans and other individuals who engaged in burglaries, thefts, and other crimes throughout the United States, then laundered millions of dollars in illicit proceeds.
According to the indictment, Juan Carlos Thola-Duran, 57, a.k.a. “Parcero,” of Canyon Country, and his live-in girlfriend, Ana Maria Arriagada, 41, a.k.a. “Parcera,” controlled and operated defendant Driver Power Rentals (DPR), a Van Nuys-based car rental or dealership business. Arriagada was DPR’s registered owner.
“Driver Power Rentals provided cars that were allegedly used to take high-end merchandise and jewelry from Ventura County homeowners,” said Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko. “Taking down a key operator who fueled crime tourism is essential to neighborhood safety, and I am grateful to U.S. Attorney Estrada and his team for aggressively prosecuting this network.”
