Prosecutors say Delgado conspired to launder a cartel’s drug profits from July 2007 through December 2008. The indictment doesn’t say which cartel.

Delgado is a former Carnegie Mellon University trustee and gave a $250,000 endowment to create a scholarship named after him to assist Hispanic students.

A profile later removed from the university’s website says he left his professional duties to work with Mexican president-elect Enrique Pena Nieto. Pena’s team denies knowing Delgado. The university says the biographical information was submitted by Delgado.
