Crime Lands Mexican National Behind Bars
Reymundo Molina-Trujillo, a Mexican national, has been convicted of a serious crime in the United States.
According to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, Molina-Trujillo pled guilty in federal district court to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine.
This serious crime carries severe penalties, including a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in federal prison, up to life in prison, followed by a minimum of five years on supervised release, a fine of up to $10,000,000, and a special assessment of $100.
Molina-Trujillo was detained pending sentencing, which is scheduled for February 2, 2016, at 10:30 am.
The evidence in support of this prosecution was obtained in an investigation conducted under the auspices of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). This initiative brings together federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to target and dismantle large national and international drug trafficking organizations.
Agencies participating in this case include the Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations, and the Metropolitan Enforcement Group of Southern Illinois. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Monica A. Stump.
Molina-Trujillo’s case serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against drug trafficking in the United States. The consequences of these crimes can be severe, and it is crucial for law enforcement agencies to work together to bring those responsible to justice.
