The Laredo Democrat faces allegations of bribery, money laundering and working on behalf of a foreign government.

The Laredo Democrat was indicted last month on charges of bribery, money laundering and illegally working on behalf of the Azerbaijani government. His trial was scheduled to kick off in July but now will not begin until spring 2025, with an interim pretrial conference in December. Jury selection is scheduled to begin March 31, 2025.

Federal prosecutors allege Cuellar laundered bribes from the Azerbaijani government and a Mexican bank. In exchange, he allegedly advocated legislation the bank and Azerbaijani government supported. That included legislation related to Azerbaijan’s territorial dispute with neighboring Armenia.
