Daily Caller: Nearly two dozen residents of Oregon and Washington have been charged for allegedly partnering with a Mexican drug cartel to distribute methamphetamine and other drugs throughout the Pacific Northwest, federal officials announced Thursday.
A nine-count federal indictment alleges that 22 members of an Oregon trafficking ring distributed large quantities of methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine for a a cartel based in Michoacan, one of Mexico’s most prolific drug-producing states.
The cartel allegedly funneled the drugs to ringleader Victor Alvarez Farfan, 43, of Oregon City, who distributed them to associates to sell in the Oregon cities of Hillsboro, Gresham, Portland and Hood River, as well as Tacoma, Washington, according to the Department of Justice.
Farfan was charged with conspiracy, two counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and conspiracy to commit the laundering of monetary instruments. Other defendants were indicted on conspiracy and distribution charges.
“Meth, heroin and cocaine combine to form a deadly cocktail that fuels a cycle of violence and addiction in our community,” Renn Cannon, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oregon, said in a statement. “The FBI and our partners are targeting the power players in these drug trafficking organizations as we work to reduce the flow of guns, drugs and dirty money into Oregon.” read more
