“The net amount of fentanyl in this operation would be enough to kill 20 million people and carries a street value of $5,200,000,” police stated.
Police said this was a large-scale and long-term investigation into the Ohio arm of the drug trafficking organization supplied by a nationwide distribution network based out of Mexico.
Local, state, and federal partners from agencies in multiple states collaborated in the investigation, according to police. “I commend the efforts of the FBI Cleveland Cartel Gang Narcotics & Laundering Task force for the stellar results of this successful initiative,” Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond said. “Fentanyl is a poison effecting the lives of countless Ohioans and Americans. An investigation of this magnitude is a significant indicator of what is accomplished through strategic, partnered law enforcement initiatives.
“The success of this initiative is undoubtedly the result of the tireless efforts of everyone on the task force,” stated Ohio State Highway Patrol superintendent Colonel Charles A. Jones. “Through collaborations such as this, we can collectively focus on our shared mission of making our communities safer.”United States Attorney’s Office
