Cocaine Trafficking Plagues New Orleans

A coordinated effort between U.S. law enforcement agencies has led to the downfall of two Honduran nationals involved in a cocaine trafficking ring operating in New Orleans. Marvin Santos Perdomo, 33, and Olvin Santos Perdomo, 26, both citizens of Honduras, were found guilty of conspiring to distribute and distributing cocaine hydrochloride, a Schedule II controlled substance.

According to court records, the duo conspired to distribute and distributed cocaine hydrochloride, a Schedule II controlled substance. Additionally, Marvin Santos Perdomo was found to be an illegal alien in the United States after being previously deported.

U.S. District Judge Stanwood R. Duval, Jr. has scheduled sentencing for July 29, 2015. Marvin Santos Perdomo and Olvin Santos Perdomo face a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years and/or a fine of $1,000,000.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite commended the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration and Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in investigating this matter.

Assistant United States Attorney David Haller is in charge of the prosecution. This case highlights the ongoing struggle against cocaine trafficking in New Orleans and the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies to combat this issue.

The guilty plea marks a significant victory in the fight against cocaine trafficking in Louisiana. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in such illicit activities.
