Agents Arrest 268 in Drug Bust
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agents have arrested 268
people and seized cocaine, marijuana and cash in an effort to
break up a smuggling operation that brought narcotics from
Colombia to at least a dozen U.S. cities.
The Drug Enforcement Administration, working with several
other law enforcement agencies and authorities in Mexico and
Colombia, arrested 83 people Wednesday. Previously, 185
were arrested as part of a crackdown called ``Operation
Marquis.''
Joseph Keefe, the DEA's chief of operations, described the
bust as one of the largest of its kind in recent memory.
Arrests were conducted simultaneously during the early
morning hours in 16 cities, the DEA said. It said that
provisional arrest warrants naming 14 suspects in Mexico
were being submitted to Mexican authorities.
Keefe said the multi-agency operation has crippled a drug
trafficking organization run by the brother of drug lord Amado
Carrillo-Fuentes, who died in 1997 after a botched plastic
surgery.
Vincente Carrillo-Fuentes, Jose Albino Quintero-Meraz and
suspected drug kingpin Alcides Ramon Magana, arrested in
the Gulf coast state of Tabasco earlier this month, are alleged
to be the central players in the smuggling operation, Keefe
said.
``We have disrupted their organization and made it much
more difficult for them to function in the United States,'' Keefe
said.
During the year-and-a-half investigation, agents seized 9,000
kilograms of cocaine, 28,000 pound of marijuana and $12.5
million in cash.
DEA officials said drugs from Colombia were trucked or flown
to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on the U.S. border. In some cases,
officials said, the smugglers used special radar-evading
planes.
From Nuevo Laredo, they said, the drugs were smuggled into
the United States, either in covert compartments on trucks or
cars passing through a commercial border crossing in
Laredo, Texas, or by individuals coming across the border
into Texas.
The drugs were then stored in local warehouses before being
distributed to cities across the United States, DEA officials
said.
It said the organization shipped the drugs in tractor-trailers,
with the narcotics concealed by cover loads of produce, and
said cars with concealed compartments also were used.
A Laredo, Texas, warehouse for Corona beer was among
those being searched Wednesday. Officials said one suspect
under arrest had an office at the facility.
The investigation penetrated many local distribution
operations. A defendant alleged to be a local distributor in
Cleveland was a maintenance worker for the local school
district, who allegedly distributed crack and cocaine at
recreation centers, officials said.
Arrests were made or planned in Laredo, San Antonio,
Houston, Dallas and Austin, Texas; Little Rock, Ark.; New
York; Newark, N.J.; Charlotte, N.C.; Cleveland; St. Louis; San
Diego; Philadelphia; Baltimore; Nashville and Memphis, Tenn.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI, the DEA, the
Justice Department and the Customs Service. Federal agents
were assisted by 86 state and local law enforcement
agencies. Mexican and Colombian authorities also
contributed to the investigation, the DEA said
