A Phoenix man, Jose Angulo, was sentenced last week, to 30 years imprisonment for Conspiracy to Distribute
Methamphetamine, Money Laundering, and Distribution of Methamphetamine.
According to the Department of Justice, evidence established during the sentencing hearing “demonstrated that from between 2018 through November of 2019, Angulo had been responsible for shipping over 50 pounds of methamphetamine to the Southern District of Illinois and laundered drug proceeds to conceal his drug distribution operation.”
During the investigation, the United States Postal Inspection Service intercepted three packages of methamphetamine that Angulo had mailed to addresses in East St. Louis and Swansea, Illinois, totaling nine pounds of methamphetamine.
Angulo had previously been convicted in the State of Arizona for participating in a drug trafficking organization and engaging in money laundering.
