A Mexican man who pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a drug smuggling investigation has been sentenced to a long time behind bars, federal officials say.
Officials with the United States Attorney's Office say a man who coordinated and directed marijuana smuggling activities on behalf of an international drug-trafficking organization that smuggled multiple tons of marijuana from Mexico into the southern Arizona desert will spend time in prison.
According to a statement released on July 5, 41-year-old Juan Carlos Juarez-Torres of Mexico has been sentenced to 240 months in prison, followed by 60 months of supervised release. The sentence was handed down on June 28. "Juarez-Torres previously pleaded guilty on October 13, 2021, to conspiracy to import marijuana, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana, and conspiracy to commit money laundering," read a portion of the statement.
Officials said Homeland Security Investigations began an 18-month wiretap investigation of Mexico-based members of the drug trafficking organization. "Juarez-Torres coordinated and directed the purchase and smuggling of firearms and ammunition and the acquisition and distribution of equipment and vehicles for use by the DTO," read a portion of the statement.
