No bail for lawyer accused of helping Mafia memberFriday, June 19, 2009 (06-19) 16:24 PDT Los Angeles, CA (AP) -- A criminal defense lawyer charged with money laundering for the Mexican Mafia has been ordered held without bail in Los Angeles. A federal magistrate ordered 48-year-old Isaac Guillen to remain in federal custody Friday because he is a flight risk and a danger to the community. Guillen was charged with racketeering, along with 40 alleged gang members and associates, in a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday. Prosecutors say Guillen transferred about $27,500 over five years from a gang to his business partner, an imprisoned Mexican Mafia member. Prosecutors say the two men run a real estate holding corporation, a limo service and a liquor distributorship. Guillen's defense attorney, William S. Harris, declined comment.
