CONCORD, NH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A federal judge this week sentenced a Sinaloa Cartel<\/strong> member to 17 years in federal prison for drug dealing after he was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A grand jury for in New Hampshire charged Rafael Humberto Celaya Valenzuela,<\/strong> 40, and seven coconspirators including Joaquin Guzman-Loera, a\/k\/a \u201cChapo\u201d<\/strong> with the drug conspiracy in June 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly before Celaya Valenzuela\u2019s arrest in Spain on Aug. 7, 2012 conspirators Samuel Zazueta Valenzuela, Jesus Gonzalo Palazuelo Soto,<\/strong> and Jesus Manuel Gutierrez Guzman<\/strong> arrived there to monitor the delivery of 763 pounds of cocaine to Algeciras, Spain, according to an indictment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cocaine was delivered to a European port for eventual redistribution in Europe and the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

The delivery resulted from negotiations between members of the Sinaloa Cartel led by Chapo and undercover agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation posing as members of an organized crime syndicate, the indictment stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the period of the negotiations there were numerous meetings with members of the conspiracy in the United States, including an April 2011 meeting in New Castle, New Hampshire, and a March 2011 meeting in Madrid, Spain to finalize the terms of the first delivery, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this time, three \u201ctest\u201d deliveries of fruit were made to provide assurance to the conspirators that they were not dealing with law enforcement. The success of the test deliveries led to the ultimate delivery of the cocaine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis case illustrates that drug cartels based in foreign countries will go anywhere to distribute their deadly products,\u201d stated Acting U.S. Attorney Donald Feith<\/strong>. \u201cMr. Celaya Valenzuela served as a representative of one of the world\u2019s wealthiest and deadliest drug organizations. Without the work of dedicated agents from the FBI, the Boston Police Department, and the Spanish National Police, this long term investigation would not have been successful. I commend these agencies for their determination to bring these individuals to justice.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Celaya Valenzuela will be deported to Mexico upon his release.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
