Jury indicts 38 on drug-trafficking charges in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A federal grand jury has indicted 38 people accused of running a drug-trafficking ring in southern Puerto Rico.
The suspects are charged with conspiring to distribute heroin, cocaine, crack, marijuana and prescription pills at public housing projects in the mountain town of Cayey.
U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said Thursday that the alleged ring was established in 2012.
If found guilty, the suspects could face up to life in prison.
