An international fentanyl distribution conspiracy that ran out of a Quebec prison has resulted in two Canadians and one Colombian getting lengthy prison sentences, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs announced in a press release.
Ceron was extradited from Panama to the U.S. in 2017, and pleaded guilty to charges involving money laundering and drug conspiracy in 2019, according to the United States Attorney’s Office District of North Dakota. On Monday, co-conspirator Jason Berry, a Canadian citizen from Montreal, was sentenced to 24 years in prison. Berry played a role in arranging the acquisition of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues from China, as well as the larger distribution of the lethal drug throughout the U.S, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in the release that these cases reflect the U.S. Justice Department’s commitment to going after “every link in this global supply chain and to holding accountable those who profit from this deadly drug as the expense of families.”
