DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: Fentanyl Dealers Linked To Bronx Overdoses Charged

NEW YORK - The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that it had charged eight men in federal court for allegedly distributing fentanyl that has been linked to multiple overdose deaths in the Bronx.

The indictment alleges that the eight defendants were members of a drug trafficking organization that operated primarily from a block on 14nd Street between Brook Avenue and St. Anne's Avenue in the Bronx, where members sold fentanyl in bulk to dealers who then redistributed the drug across the Bronx.

The indictment charged Jesus Cabrera, Michael Amaya, Alberto Concepcion with participating in a conspiracy to distribute the fentanyl that killed Rahman. Humberto Borges, Frankie Capellan, Willie Harris, Luis Ramirez and Jose Figueroa were also charged as members of the conspiracy.

The suspects have all been charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 400 grams and more of fentanyl, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.
