WASHINGTON D.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Two Guatemalan nationals were extradited to the United States from Guatemala on Friday to face international narcotics trafficking charges, officials announced Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"brownGuatemalan nationals Haroldo Geremias Lorenzana-Cordon, aka Chuci, aka Chuchy, and Marta Julia Lorenzana-Cordon, aka Julie, aka Yulie, aka Julia and aka Morena, were extradited from Guatemala to the U.S. last week to face international drug trafficking charges. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to allegations contained in court documents, the defendants were leaders of the Lorenzana drug trafficking organization. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Lorenzana drug trafficking organization, a historically patriarchal criminal group comprised primarily of family members, is one of the largest and most influential drug cartels in Guatemala. <\/span><\/p>\n

The organization transports tonnage quantities of cocaine from Colombia into Guatemala, where the cocaine is inventoried and stored on properties owned by the organization throughout Guatemala. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once processed, the organization works with the Sinaloa Cartel, among other organizations, to traffic cocaine into Mexico, through Central America, and eventually, into the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, between 1996 and 2019, the organization coordinated the transportation, storage and distribution of multi-ton quantities of cocaine from Colombia to Central America and Mexico, for eventual distribution into the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Their siblings,\u00a0Eliu Elixander Lorenzana-Cordon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Waldemar Lorenzana-Cordon<\/a>, were convicted on international narcotics trafficking charges in the District of Columbia in March 2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Their father,\u00a0Waldemar Lorenzana-Lima Sr.<\/a>, pleaded guilty to international narcotics trafficking charges in the District of Columbia in August 2014. <\/span><\/p>\n

Eliu and Waldemar Lorenzana-Cordon received life sentences. Waldemar Lorenzana-Lima received a 23 year sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>A grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment against Haroldo on March 10, 2009. <\/span><\/p>\n

In November 2019, Haroldo was arrested by Guatemalan authorities, pursuant to a provisional arrest request by the United States, where he remained detained pending his extradition. A grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment against Marta Julia on July 23, 2020. In April, Marta Julia was arrested by Guatemalan authorities, pursuant to an extradition request by the United States, where she remained detained pending her extradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants are charged with conspiracy to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, knowing and intending that it will be unlawfully imported to the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted, they are facing up to life in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
