300KG CO***NE OPERATION SMASHED — $17 MILLION DRUG HAUL SEIZED
US authorities have announced the indictment of 10 alleged members of the Jones-Basley Drug Trafficking Organization, accused of working with a Mexican cartel to move more than 300kg of co***ne from Mexico to Philadelphia.
Authorities say hundreds of kilograms of co***ne worth more than $17 MILLION, along with multiple fi****ms, have been seized in the major takedown.
Lead defendant Greg Jones had previously served prison time for drug trafficking before having his sentence commuted by President Joe Biden in 2022.
The investigation alleges the organisation was responsible for moving huge quantities of co***ne into Philadelphia and the surrounding region.
The latest operation involved the FBI, US Attorney’s Office and Homeland Security Task Force.
