Prosecutors: Zimmerman's Wife Used Small Transfers To Hide $100,000

UPDATE Wednesday, June 13: Prosecutors say that Shellie Zimmerman did more than just lie about her and her husband's finances to help secure a lower bond for the 28-year-old neighborhood-watch volunteer accused of the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin. They also say she used a series of small bank transfers to hide more than $100,000 from the court.



According to records presented in the state's perjury case against Shellie Zimmerman, she transferred $74,000 out of her husband George's credit union account into her own ahead of his initial bond hearing, moving funds in eight installations ranging between $7,500 and $9,900, the Associated Press reports. An additional $47,000 was transferred to her sister-in-law. Shortly after her husband was released on bail, Zimmerman transferred $85,000 back into his account.




George Zimmerman's defense lawyer has previously said that his client's failure to disclose more than $100,000 raised for his defense via a website was a simple misunderstanding and not an intentional bid to deceive the judge about his finances to keep his bond low. The judge has since revoked George Zimmerman's bond.




Prosecutors allege that George not only knew of the transfers but instructed his wife to make them from jail, according to CNN. They presented transcripts of phone calls made from jail in which the couple discussed the funds raised from his website and he directed her to move the money. Prosecutors claim they spoke about amounts in a simple code, using "$15" to mean "$150,000" for instance.



Typically, banks have an obligation to report cash transfers above $10,000 to government agencies. If Shellie Zimmerman is found to have deliberately designed the transfers to keep them below the mark, she may face federal criminal charges in addition to the state charge of perjury.
