Boston’s Adil Rahman Busted in $1M Opioid Ring Bust

Boston’s streets are about to get a whole lot safer, thanks to the feds busting Adil Rahman, 35, in a $1M opioid trafficking case.

According to court documents, Rahman, a Boston native, was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.

The indictment, handed down by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleges that Rahman, along with others, conspired to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, resulting in a total of $1 million in proceeds.

The case against Rahman comes after a lengthy investigation by the FBI, DEA, and local law enforcement agencies. Agents seized over $200,000 in cash, as well as several firearms, during the course of the probe.

Rahman is being represented by a team of high-powered attorneys, including Geoffrey G. Nathan, Benjamin Saltzman, and Stephen E. Frank. The trial is expected to get underway in the coming months.

As the opioid epidemic continues to ravage communities across the country, the feds are cracking down on those responsible. Rahman’s indictment is just the latest example of the federal government’s commitment to holding dealers accountable for their crimes.

Adil Rahman, 35, of Boston, is facing up to life in prison if convicted. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey G. Nathan, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Saltzman. Stephen E. Frank is serving as counsel for Rahman.
