(WLUK) -- A Manitowoc County woman pleaded guilty to a multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme.

According to prosecutors, through her temporary staffing agency based in Manitowoc, Cherie Campion, 64, of Mishicot, generated and submitted thousands of fraudulent invoices, causing respective losses of $5,000,000 and $5,389,371.51 for the two companies she deceived.

Campion took substantial efforts to conceal her fraud, including registering a “proxy” company with the State of Wisconsin; creating a fictitious persona associated with her fraudulent invoices; and submitting false bank statements.

As part of her plea, Campion acknowledged that her scheme was sophisticated enough to warrant an enhancement under the United States Sentencing Guidelines.

Campion will be sentenced on Jan. 27, 2026.
