*Haji Bagcho Sentenced: Life in Prison on Narco-Terrorism, Drug
Trafficking Charges*



Haji Bagcho, an Afghan national with ties to the Taliban, was
sentenced to life in prison on June 12 for conspiring to distribute
heroin to the United States and using drug proceeds to fund, arm, and
supply the Taliban. Bagcho was convicted by a jury on March 13, 2012
after a three week trial. Bagcho was charged in a superseding
indictment on January 28, 2010, after his arrest and extradition to
the United States from Afghanistan in May 2009.



The DEA, in cooperation with our Afghan counterparts, conducted the
investigation into Bagcho that revealed that he had been operating his
heroin business since at least the 1990s and sent heroin to more than
20 countries, including the United States. Proceeds from his heroin
trafficking were then used to support high-level members of the
Taliban in furtherance of the insurgency. DEA purchased heroin
directly from Bagcho's organization on two occasions which Bagcho
understood was destined for the United States. DEA also conducted
several searches of residences belonging to Bagcho and his associates,
recovering evidence consistent with drug trafficking. During one
search, ledgers belonging to the defendant were found. One reflected
heroin transactions totaling more than 123,000 kilograms in 2006,
worth more than $250 million, and representing approximately 20
percent of the amount of heroin produced worldwide that year.



"This is DEA at its finest, working in close collaboration with our
Afghan partners to end the long reign of this Afghan drug lord whose
drug proceeds financed terror," said DEA Administrator Leonhart. "One
of the world's most prolific drug traffickers who helped fund the
Taliban will spend his remaining days behind bars in a U.S. prison due
to the relentless efforts of DEA, our Afghan counterparts and our
prosecuting partners."

On June 8 Christopher Michael Coke, 43, the leader of the
Jamaica-based international criminal organization, the "Shower Posse,"
also known as the "Presidential Click," was sentenced to 23 years in
prison. Coke pled guilty on August 31, 2011 to one count of
racketeering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to commit assault
with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering.



Since the early 1990s, Coke led the Click, which had members in
Jamaica, the United States, and other countries. Since 1994, members
of the Click have been involved in drug trafficking in locations
throughout the world, including New York City, Miami, and Kingston,
Jamaica. At Coke*'*s direction and on his behalf, members distributed
marijuana, cocaine, and crack cocaine and sent him the proceeds.

*45 Indicted in Major DEA-Led Investigations at San Juan International Airport*

* *

On June 6 a 16 count indictment was issued with violations of the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and
conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. The
defendants were members and associates of a criminal organization
whose members and associates engaged in narcotics distribution and
criminal acts principally out of the Luis Muñoz Marin International
Airport in Carolina, Puerto Rico. A second indictment also unsealed on
June 6 charged 20 individuals for aiding and abetting each other, and
conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute in excess of 9000
kilograms of cocaine, aboard American Airlines commercial aircrafts.



DEA Deputy Administrator Thomas M. Harrigan today said, "Americans
have a right to expect the highest integrity from those they entrust
with their safety, and DEA is committed to protecting that trust.
Today's arrests at one of the nation's busiest airports reflect our
relentless commitment to working with our partners to aggressively
fight drug trafficking, not only at our nation's points of entry, but
at source, transit, and arrival zones throughout the world."
