BREAKING News Out Of Colorado- BIGGEST BUST EVER-
Post# of 123688
As we report daily, deadly drugs are pouring into our country at an unprecedented rate thanks to Biden’s border policy.
Actually he has NO policy and he and the Socialist Democrats couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the damage they are doing to our country.
Meanwhile the Mexican drug cartels along with China are getting filthy rich and laughing at us while they saturate America with extremely deadly drugs, weapons, dangerous gang members just to mention some of the chaos.
Here’s another example of the results of the Leftist scumbag’s lack of control which unfortunately is a deliberate campaign to destroy America.
Today, the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Denver Field Division, alongside Rocky Mountain HIDTA and the 18th Judicial District, announced the indictment of 19 individuals and arrest of 10 individuals as a part of an investigation into a poly-drug trafficking organization operating in the greater Denver area of Colorado.
In April 2021, law enforcement authorities initiated an investigation into a drug trafficking organization responsible for trafficking a combination of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, has been the primary driver of the overdose epidemic across the United States. In recent weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a record 100,306 drug related overdoses for the 12-month period ending in April of 2021.
In addition to the large quantities of fentanyl seized, the investigation also found the organization in possession of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, numerous firearms, and US currency.
“This investigation is not about the amount of drugs seized or number of people arrested,” said DEA Denver Acting Special Agent in Charge David Olesky. “This investigation demonstrates and corroborates the alarming trend in counterfeit prescription pills laced with fentanyl flooding our streets, as well as the continuing nexus between drug trafficking and violent crime impacting our communities.”
DEA Denver began this investigation with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, including Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Denver Police Department, Arvada Police Department, Commerce City Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations.
The grand jury found that defendant Saul Ramon Rivera-Beltran, 30, of Thornton, Colorado, coordinated the transportation of the illegal drugs from Mexico and their subsequent distribution in Colorado. The counterfeit prescription pills laced with fentanyl are suspected of being manufactured in Mexico and then smuggled into the United States across the Southwest Border.
“These indictments are an example of how my Organized Crime Unit is able to prosecute those who traffic illegal drugs in our communities and neighborhoods,” said District Attorney John Kellner. “These are people who peddle deadly substances. And where we find the illegal drug trade, we usually find illegal weapons. We will continue to work with local, state and federal partners to prosecute these criminal organizations.”
The investigation resulted in the seizure of:
110,000 counterfeit prescription pills containing fentanyl
11.5 kilograms of cocaine
6 kilograms of methamphetamine
8.5 pounds of heroin
28 firearms, of which 6 were stolen
3 hand grenades
Multiple high capacity magazines including one 200 round “drum” magazine
Armor piercing ammunition
Body armor with rifle rated ballistic armor plates
$450,000 in U.S. currency
Charges range from racketeering and conspiracy under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act to drug distribution and money laundering. The top counts are Class 2 felonies.
The filing of criminal charges or an indictment is merely a formal accusation that an individual committed a crime. Each defendant should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
