Delaware Man Charged with Fentanyl Trafficking
A 56-year-old man was charged with fentanyl trafficking in Delaware after a long-term investigation by the DEA’s Wilmington Resident Office Tactical Diversion Squad and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Group 41.
Julian Rivera-Villa, of Gloucester City, New Jersey, was arrested outside his residence after a search yielded approximately 7 kilograms of heroin, 3 kilograms of cocaine, 14,000 fake Oxycodone pills containing fentanyl, and over $28,000 in cash.
The estimated street value of the seized drugs is in excess of $1 million, making it the largest federal seizure of heroin and fake Oxycodone pills by Delaware law enforcement in recent memory.
Rivera-Villa faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine for distribution of fentanyl. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Alexander Ibrahim, and the DEA and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware wish to thank Homeland Security Investigations, Immigrations & Customs Enforcement, Camden, New Jersey DEA-HIDTA, and the Camden County Sherriff’s SERT team for their assistance.
