The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma announced the indictment of 29 alleged members and co-conspirators of a drug trafficking organization with ties to the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). The 29 are accused of participating in a criminal enterprise to possess and distribute heroin and perform money laundering.
The indictment alleges that the Giovanni Drug Trafficking Organization established a heroin distribution network based in Mexico with operations in Tulsa, dating back to November 2017. The organization allegedly imported, processed, and distributed approximately two kilograms of heroin per week while utilizing multiple levels of distribution to supply street-level dealers and users, according to the federal grand jury indictment issued on May 9, and unsealed Tuesday.
“Operation Smack Drago” was a long-term multi-agency investigation. According to the indictment, the organization’s leaders in Mexico supplied heroin to the Tulsa “cell heads.” These cell heads were also originally from Mexico but took up residence in Oklahoma. Stille Giovanni Gutierrez Vivanco was identified in the court filing as the leader of the Mexico group. According to the indictment, “the criminal organization smuggled heroin into the United States and transported the drug to storage locations in Tulsa where they prepared it for distribution throughout the United States.”
A select group of cell heads were responsible for managing the transportation of drugs from the Mexican border to Tulsa, the filing notes. Laundering techniques were then used to send proceeds out of the U.S. Cell heads were identified as Jose Garcia, 36, Edson Garcia-Velasquez, 25, and Norman Fabian Huerta Avalos, 36, according to a release.

Scary!
What’s going on? Do we now have honest US Attorneys not on the take? An energized Dept of Justice? A POTUS pusing them to end the drug trade?
CJNG = Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación
How fitting that their UNIFORMS in the photo there resemble so closely Mexican police uniforms.
Maybe it will be like that here, soon, too.
“Cell heads” included Jose Garcia, 36, of Tulsa, and Edson Garcia-Velasquez, 25, of Tulsa. Norman Fabian Huerta Avalos, 36, served in various capacities, including coordinating assignments for other organization members and serving as dispatch.
Of course....and we know how they got those!
“These cell heads were also originally from Mexico but took up residence in Oklahoma.“
All legally done I’m sure.
L
This rade and others in the US is why the violence on the border and abuse of refugees to get drugs over....their supply train is being hit hard.
Operation Fast & Furious, I’d wager.
Hey next to the AR, you can see the velcro CJNG tear-off team labels for their ballistic vests.
It’s a sartorial, Mexican version of “The Clapper” (clap on/clap off/ the clapper..!)
They can walk around labeled as cops, then RIIIIP..!
Presto..!
They’re NARCOS..!
Eric Holder is impressed.
Site can’t be reached.
Yep that’s about the size of it. These guys will use anyway to keep the drugs flowing and also to use their power over the uncooperative.
This was a huge bust...but there are many not being reported as well. Trumps untied the hands of our enforces! BTW those in the police force etc. I have spoken with LOVE our president for finally letting them do their jobs!
It works for me..sorry..IDON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO..
That’s alright....not your fault.
These narcos are Dreamers. I wonder how much the cartels paid Barry Soetoro for the means to build their distribution networks.
It’s not just the drug trade there’s oodles of foreigners that come into our country with all kinds of scams to rip this country off. Europeans/asians and others use all kinds of reasons to get visiting visas here when in fact they’re coming here to work and never leave.... they end up turning to criminal activity to make a quick buck...then they’re out of here till the next time or we’re taking care of them in our prison system .
Barry likely gets a kickback!
