Ramon Jaquez-Diaz, 52, Found Guilty of Conspiracy to Distribute Fentanyl
A jury in federal court in Concord has convicted Ramon Jaquez-Diaz, a 52-year-old man from Methuen, Massachusetts, of a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl in New Hampshire, according to an announcement by Jane E. Young.
Jaquez-Diaz was convicted following a two-day jury trial for his role as a drug-runner in a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl operating out of Lawrence, Massachusetts. U.S. District Court Judge Paul J. Barbadoro scheduled sentencing for July 24, 2023 at 10 a.m.
Jaquez-Diaz worked with others to transport fentanyl from New York to Massachusetts, and ultimately into New Hampshire. The fentanyl was internationally sourced. Twelve people were charged for this conspiracy.
The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, at least 3 years of supervised release, and a maximum fine of $1,000,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
The Drug Enforcement Administration led the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Seth R. Aframe, Heather A. Cherniske, and John Kennedy are prosecuting the case. The effort is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation.
OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach. Additional information about the OCDETF Program can be found at https://www.justice.gov/OCDETF.
