From his home in Providence, Rhode Island, Dominican Republic native Juni Rafael Jimenez-Martinez ran a multi-million-dollar drug ring supplied by the two biggest rival super cartels, CJNG and the Sinaloa Cartel.
A twice-deported Dominican Republic native settled into Providence, Rhode Island, and leveraged his connections with two Mexican cartel powerhouses to supply a four-state region with millions of dollars in deadly drugs.
Juni Rafael Jimenez-Martinez, known as "Rafa," relied upon a close network of Dominicans throughout the northeast to help pick up kilograms of drugs in New York City, delivering some loads to customers there and taking others to southern New Hampshire and drug hub Lawrence, Massachusetts, less than an hour's drive northwest of Boston. He also eventually built a customer base in the Providence area.
