Espinoza-Grajeda pleaded guilty to conspiring to launder more than $17 million in drug proceeds.

A guilty plea is a conviction on the count that was admitted. It is not a sentence. Georgina Espinoza-Grajeda, 43, of Eagle Mountain, pleaded guilty to conspiring to launder monetary instruments, KUTV and KJZZ reported Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026. Prosecutors said she operated Multiservicios Lokos, LLC, the money-service side of Antojitos Lokos in South Salt Lake, and sent wire transfers of cash proceeds from drug sales. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 14, 2026.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah said Espinoza-Grajeda and co-conspirators conducted financial transactions affecting interstate commerce with intent to promote the distribution of controlled substances. Officials described her as at the center of a conspiracy to wire millions in narcotics-trafficking proceeds to suppliers in Mexico and Honduras. KUTV reported the admitted figure as more than $17 million. Those descriptions are the government’s account tied to the plea. They are not a sentencing judgment.

An earlier charging announcement in the same federal investigation, covered when the Utah Attorney General’s Office joined the prosecution, alleged Multiservicios Lokos was a remitting hub for multiple trafficking organizations along the Wasatch Front. An indictment and a later plea are different stages. The judgment of guilt on the admitted money-laundering conspiracy count is the plea. The prison term, if any, waits for Dec. 14.

KJZZ carried the KUTV report of the plea and the December sentencing date. A calendar setting is not a sentence. The admitted conspiracy count is what stands until the court imposes judgment at sentencing. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
