DOJ Announces Charges Against 19 Suspects in Fentanyl Trafficking Ring Without Revealing 14 Are Illegal Aliens
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has arrested 19 suspects in a broader New England drug trafficking operation, at least 14 of whom are in the country illegally, according to reports.
In total, 25 suspects have been charged, but six remained at large at the time of a Friday press release in which the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts announced findings of an investigation that has been ongoing for more than 2.5 years.
Authorities seized more than 2.3 kilograms of fentanyl, 12 kilograms of suspected fentanyl and cocaine, 300 grams of cocaine, six firearms, and approximately $400,000 during raids and arrests that occurred primarily in the vicinity of Boston.
“Communities across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island are safer today because of this takedown that dismantled a sophisticated and large-scale drug trafficking organization operating in plain sight,” said U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy.
