A Westwego man has been arrested for his role in a heroin trafficking operation, according to federal authorities. MOHAMMED FATTY, 28, of Westwego, has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin.
Court documents reveal that FATTY transported approximately one kilogram of heroin between Georgia and the New Orleans area on two separate occasions. This illicit activity has brought with it severe consequences for the defendant, including a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of ten years, a maximum term of imprisonment of life, a fine of up to $10,000,000, at least five years supervised release after imprisonment, and a mandatory $100 special assessment.
The guilty plea marks a significant victory for U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans and his team, who worked closely with the United States Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations to bring FATTY to justice. Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan L. Shih is leading the prosecution.
FATTY’s actions not only put his own life at risk but also endangered the safety of those around him. The transportation of such large quantities of heroin has the potential to cause widespread devastation in communities.
The case against FATTY serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region. The Grimy Times will continue to provide updates on this case as more information becomes available.
The sentence handed down to FATTY will be determined by the court at a later date. In the meantime, the community can rest assured that those responsible for such heinous crimes will be held accountable.
The Grimy Times will continue to provide in-depth coverage of this case, shedding light on the intricacies of the operation and the impact it had on those affected.
