圣迭戈贩毒网16人被起诉：收网行动缴获26.8公斤芬太尼
2025年4月17日，美国司法部加州南区检察官办公室在加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县圣迭戈市宣布，四份联邦起诉书当日解封，共指控圣迭戈县16人分销大量冰毒、芬太尼与海洛因，并洗白贩毒所得。
前一日（4月16日），115多名联邦、州与地方执法人员在圣迭戈市的内斯特（Nestor）、棕榈城（Palm City）与恩坎托（Encanto）社区展开协调收网行动，逮捕10名被告并执行3份搜查令，另有6名被告仍在追捕中。
连同本次收网与整个调查期间的查扣，执法部门共缴获26.8公斤粉末芬太尼、5.7公斤含芬太尼的假药丸（估计约57,000丸）、25.7公斤冰毒、1.5公斤可卡因、1.1公斤海洛因，以及氯胺酮、MDMA、4万多美元现金、一辆玛莎拉蒂吉博力轿车和9支枪械（其中包括一支AK-47）。
联邦检察官亚当·戈登（Adam Gordon）表示，该办公室将与执法伙伴一道，在全区范围内瓦解犯罪组织，并称此案显示了司法部「夺回美国」（Take Back America）优先事项的直接成果。缉毒局圣迭戈外勤处特别探员主管布赖恩·克拉克（Brian Clark）表示，该贩毒组织「把毒品从一岸卖到另一岸」，执法部门合力将其「一块砖一块砖地拆解」。国税局刑事调查局洛杉矶外勤处特别探员主管泰勒·哈彻（Tyler Hatcher）表示，起诉书描绘的组织把致命毒品送进社区，「哪里有钱，哪里就有踪迹」。
据起诉书，这批指控源于一项为期16个月的调查，调查人员动用了法院授权的窃听、卧底探员与线人。被告被指代表一个以圣迭戈县为基地的贩毒组织，把芬太尼等毒品分销到全美多地，包括俄亥俄州与堪萨斯州；该组织还利用空壳公司收集并洗白来自科罗拉多州、明尼苏达州与内布拉斯加州等地的贩毒所得。
四份起诉书的案号为25cr0818-BAS、25cr0819-BAS、25cr0820-AJB与25cr0821-WQH，涉及共谋分销冰毒、芬太尼与海洛因、持有并意图分销、共谋洗钱及刑事没收等指控，多项主罪的最高刑为终身监禁、最低强制刑10年并可处最高1,000万美元罚款。全案由助理联邦检察官迈克尔·A·德尚（Michael A. Deshong）承办，参与调查的机构包括缉毒局、国税局刑事调查局、圣迭戈警察局、圣迭戈县警长局、欧申赛德与卡尔斯巴德警察局、美国法警局与土地管理局等。
起诉书中的指控仅为指控，被告在被依法证明有罪之前均推定无罪。本案属有组织犯罪缉毒特别工作组（OCDETF）与司法部「夺回美国」行动的一部分。（来源：美国司法部加州南区检察官办公室）
Sixteen Charged in San Diego Drug Trafficking Network Takedown: 26.8 Kilograms of Fentanyl Seized
On April 17, 2025, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California announced in San Diego, San Diego County, California, that four federal indictments had been unsealed charging 16 individuals throughout San Diego County with distributing large quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin and laundering drug-trafficking proceeds.
In a coordinated takedown the day before, on April 16, more than 115 federal, state and local law enforcement officials arrested 10 defendants and executed three search warrants in the Nestor, Palm City and Encanto neighborhoods of the City of San Diego. Six defendants were still being sought.
Including seizures during the takedown and throughout the investigation, authorities confiscated 26.8 kilograms of powdered fentanyl; 5.7 kilograms of counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, estimated at about 57,000 pills; 25.7 kilograms of methamphetamine; 1.5 kilograms of cocaine; 1.1 kilograms of heroin; ketamine; MDMA; more than $40,000 in U.S. currency; a Maserati Ghibli; and nine firearms, including an AK-47.
U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon said his office, together with its law enforcement partners, would disrupt and dismantle criminal organizations throughout the district, and that the investigation showed the direct results of implementing the Department's Take Back America priorities. DEA Special Agent in Charge Brian Clark said the trafficking organization had peddled poison from coast to coast and that law enforcement had put their collective authorities together to dismantle it brick by brick. Tyler Hatcher, Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation's Los Angeles Field Office, said the indictments painted a picture of an organization trafficking dangerous drugs into communities, and that where there is money, there is a trail.
According to the indictments, the charges resulted from a 16-month investigation that used court-authorized wiretaps, undercover agents and confidential sources. The defendants allegedly distributed fentanyl and other dangerous drugs throughout the United States, including in Ohio and Kansas, on behalf of a San Diego County-based drug trafficking organization, and the organization allegedly used shell companies to gather and launder trafficking proceeds from other states, including Colorado, Minnesota and Nebraska.
The four indictments, case numbers 25cr0818-BAS, 25cr0819-BAS, 25cr0820-AJB and 25cr0821-WQH, charge offenses including conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin, possession with intent to distribute, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments and criminal forfeiture; the principal counts carry maximum penalties of life in prison, mandatory minimum terms of 10 years and fines of up to $10 million. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Deshong, and the investigation involved the Drug Enforcement Administration, IRS Criminal Investigation, the San Diego Police Department, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the Oceanside and Carlsbad police departments, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, among others.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictments are merely accusations, and the defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty. The case is part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) effort and the Department of Justice's Operation Take Back America.
