Domingo Guzman, Fentanyl Trafficking, Connecticut 2020

A Waterbury man has been sentenced to over 9 years in federal prison for his role in a large-scale fentanyl trafficking ring.

According to a federal indictment, Domingo Guzman, 45, collected narcotics proceeds on behalf of members of the organization and laundered the money through a money broker in Brooklyn, New York.

The investigation, led by the DEA’s Hartford Task Force, revealed that members of the organization were receiving kilogram-quantities of fentanyl from a source of supply and distributing it to various traffickers who sold it to street-level distributors.

Between August and October 2019, investigators seized over $200,000 in cash from members of the organization. They also found several locations used to store, process, and package fentanyl, including office space in Hartford and an apartment in New Britain.

Guzman and several co-defendants were arrested on April 28, 2020, and investigators seized approximately $100,000 in cash, a firearm, and numerous items used in the processing and packaging of narcotics.

Guzman has a criminal history that includes state drug convictions and a prior federal conviction for operating an extensive cocaine and heroin trafficking enterprise.

He was sentenced to 114 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for his role in the fentanyl trafficking ring and for violating the conditions of his supervised release.
