路易斯安那州Slidell男子分销逾10公斤芬太尼被判151个月：住所查获10,593克芬太尼，毒资买下玛莎拉蒂与住宅
美国路易斯安那州圣塔马尼县 Slidell 市：路易斯安那东区联邦检察官办公室宣布，现年43岁、住在 Slidell 的 Gregory Smith Jr. 已被联邦法院判处151个月监禁、出狱后监管释放5年——他此前已就分销芬太尼、重罪犯持枪与洗钱共五项罪名认罪，量刑由联邦地区法官 Carl J. Barbier 于10月22日作出。
联邦检察官 David I. Courcelle 公布的案情称，Smith 与同伙在路易斯安那东区及外地分销芬太尼。2023年5月4日，缉毒局（DEA）搜查其住所，查获约10,593.572克芬太尼、3.76克可卡因、大麻与多件制毒分装工具（两台沾有芬太尼残留的电子秤、一个沾有残留的蛋糕烤盘、多台搅拌机与一台真空封口机），另查获15,520美元现金与一支带加长弹匣的 Masterpiece Arms MPA Defender 9毫米半自动枪械。
洗钱部分，Smith 于2021年7月至8月把非法毒品所得以拆分存款方式存入银行账户，再电汇至信用合作社账户结清一辆车的贷款，并开出一张27,617.55美元的官方支票给一家产权公司，用于购买其住所的过户交割；他还用48,931美元毒资购买了一辆2018款玛莎拉蒂 Levante。法院另对每项罪名判处100美元强制特别评估费。
缉毒局助理特别探员主管 Randy Harness 表示，被告费尽心力把毒资洗成豪车与房产、过上靠毁掉社区换来的生活，联邦团队顺着资金流证明了再复杂的财务障眼法也藏不住非法毒资。此案由缉毒局与路易斯安那州警察调查，属国土安全任务部队（HSTF）行动的一部分，助理联邦检察官 Rachal Cassagne 与 André Jones 负责起诉。
Slidell, Louisiana Man Sentenced to 151 Months for Fentanyl Conspiracy: 10,593 Grams Seized at His Home, Drug Proceeds Bought a Maserati and a House
Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana announced that Gregory Smith Jr., 43, of Slidell, was sentenced to 151 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to fentanyl distribution, felon-in-possession of a firearm and money laundering charges. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier imposed the sentence on October 22, 2026.
According to U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle, Smith conspired with others to distribute fentanyl in the Eastern District of Louisiana and elsewhere. On May 4, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) searched his residence and seized approximately 10,593.572 grams of fentanyl, 3.76 grams of cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia including two digital scales, a cake pan, multiple blenders and a vacuum sealer, all bearing fentanyl residue, along with $15,520 in cash and a Masterpiece Arms MPA Defender nine-millimeter semi-automatic gun with an extended magazine.
For the money laundering counts, Smith in July and August 2021 structured cash deposits of drug proceeds into a bank account, then wired funds to a credit union account to pay off a car loan and obtain a $27,617.55 official check made out to a title company, which was used at the closing of the purchase of his residence. He also used $48,931 in drug proceeds to purchase a 2018 Maserati Levante. The court imposed a mandatory $100 special assessment fee per count.
DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Randy Harness said the defendant went to great lengths to launder drug proceeds into luxury vehicles and real estate, and that the federal team followed the paper trail. The case was investigated by the DEA and the Louisiana State Police as part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF), and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rachal Cassagne and André Jones.
