LUIS MUNOZ, also known as ‘P.R.’ and ‘Puerto Rico,’ 41, of Waterbury, was sentenced to 40 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for his role in a Waterbury drug trafficking organization.

According to court documents and statements made in court, the FBI’s Waterbury Safe Streets Gang Task Force and other law enforcement agencies investigated two drug trafficking organizations based in the city of Waterbury. One organization was headed by Angel Quiros and operated in the area of William Street, and the other was headed by Daniel Diaz-Rivera and operated in the area of Maple Avenue.

The investigation, which included court-authorized wiretaps on multiple phones, video surveillance, GPS tracking of vehicles, and numerous controlled purchases of narcotics, revealed that the two organizations distributed cocaine, crack, and fentanyl through a network of sellers. The organizations shared sources of supply, worked together to further their operations, and sold narcotics all hours of the day and night.

Munoz distributed cocaine, crack, and fentanyl as part of the Quiros organization. Investigators seized from Munoz approximately 234 grams of cocaine, 22 grams of fentanyl, and $2,100 in cash during the investigation.

Munoz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances on March 7, 2025. He was released on $100,000 bond and is required to report to prison on January 16, 2026.

Quiros and Diaz-Rivera pleaded guilty to related charges. Quiros was sentenced to 63 months of imprisonment on August 19, 2025, and Diaz-Rivera was sentenced to 210 months of imprisonment on June 23, 2025.

The FBI’s Waterbury Safe Streets Gang Task includes members from the FBI, the Waterbury Police Department, the Naugatuck Police Department, and the Connecticut Department of Correction. The DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Connecticut State Police, Wolcott Police Department, and Meriden Police Department have assisted the investigation.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Natasha Freismuth and Shan Patel through the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Program.
