Sinaloa 集团毒品运输人认罪：Juan Hernandez Ochoa 承认向美国走私冰毒与大麻
美国司法部10月20日发布，51岁的墨西哥籍男子 Juan Hernandez Ochoa 当日认罪，承认共谋分销冰毒与大麻并非法输入美国。
据法庭文件，2015年至2017年间，Hernandez Ochoa 为多名与 Sinaloa 集团有关联的毒贩担任分销与运输人。他雇佣同伙网络，使用私人飞机、人体带毒者、地道、半挂卡车和带暗格的车辆，把毒品从墨西哥边境城镇运入美国；他承认经手数百磅冰毒与数万磅大麻，并协调毒品采购资金的运输以及售毒款项从美国回流墨西哥。
司法部刑事司助理部长 A. Tysen Duva 表示，这次认罪是对 Sinaloa 集团及靠毒品牟利的跨国犯罪组织的又一打击，并称执法部门不会停止，直到这些集团被瓦解、其头目被绳之以法。司法部称，此案与总统特朗普设立的国土安全任务部队（HSTF）行动有关。
Sinaloa Cartel Drug Transporter Pleads Guilty: Juan Hernandez Ochoa Admits Smuggling Methamphetamine and Marijuana Into the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 20 that Juan Hernandez Ochoa, 51, of Mexico, pleaded guilty that day to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and marijuana for unlawful importation into the United States.
According to court documents, Hernandez Ochoa worked from 2015 to 2017 as a distributor and transporter for various drug traffickers affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel. He employed a network of associates to move drugs from Mexican border towns into the United States using private planes, human couriers, tunnels, semi-trailer trucks and vehicles with hidden compartments. He admitted moving hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine and tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana, and coordinating the transport of cash used to buy drugs and its repatriation from the United States after their sale.
Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department's Criminal Division called the plea another major blow to the Sinaloa Cartel and said law enforcement will not stop until the cartels are dismantled. The Justice Department said the case is tied to the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by President Trump.
