Oh, they get the right one this time?
"Police nab suspected E. Boston drug boss; Morning raid nets 7 others" by Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | March 17, 2010
Federal and local police arrested an East Boston man yesterday who they say was the head of a drug ring that brought as much as $100,000 worth of cocaine a week into Boston, Revere, and Chelsea.
For at least two years, Ferney Pereanez, 24, was the kingpin of a drug operation based in East Boston, which smuggled about 2 kilos of cocaine weekly from Colombia into the Boston area, prosecutors said yesterday.
So government finally turned on him, 'eh? I wonder why.
Pereanez, who was born in the United States but whose family is from Colombia, knew how to avoid capture, according to authorities.
Well, yeah, whatever. They MSM means he was allowed to operate until now.
He never handled the drugs personally, they said. He hired illegal immigrants as runners, knowing that if they were caught, he could bail them out quickly, ensuring they would be deported immediately and be out of reach of investigators, prosecutors said.
No wonder you can't get any good jobs, Americans, and why the borders remain wide open.
In December, Pereanez became suspicious there was an investigation into his business and fled for Columbia, prosecutors said yesterday. “He probably thought he was untouchable,’’ Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said yesterday. But he returned to East Boston in January, giving police another chance to catch him.
Early yesterday morning, just after 6, police stormed into his home and arrested him. They also apprehended seven other people prosecutors said formed part of his ring, a crew of 13 people that included his older brother, a former Marine, and a woman eight months pregnant. Pereanez and the other defendants pleaded not guilty in Suffolk Superior Court yesterday. Pereanez was held on $5 million cash bail.
I'm sick of the double-cross fooleys, readers, since everyone knows banks profit from laundered drug cash and the CIA protects the drug trade as it runs its own networks.
Black profits for black ops, haven't you heard?
Prosecutors said Boston police wiretapped seven cellphones and a pager, intercepting calls and messages that helped provide enough evidence to charge Pereanez with drug trafficking and conspiracy. If found guilty, he would be sentenced to a 10 years in state prison. “The evidence developed during hundreds of cellphone intercepts suggests Pereanez is a drug kingpin in the truest sense of the word,’’ Conley said.
Pereanez’s lawyer, Robert Zanello, said his client was raised in East Boston, has an 11th-grade education, and has no record except for a DUI charge, which was later dismissed. Pereanez grinned frequently during yesterday’s court proceeding, winking at his friends seated in the courtroom and giving them the thumbs-up sign. At one point during the 90-minute hearing, he yawned.
He thinks the CIA is going to save him?

Or ICE, I'm sorry; the alphabet agencies tend to run together in the soup of tyranny.
His reaction was in stark contrast to the three women who were also charged with being part of his ring. They wept as Clerk Magistrate Connie Wong set bails as high as $500,000 against them.
Yeah, they know no government agency is going to run interference for them -- and a long prison sentence awaits unless you shut up, right, ladies?
Biviana Lotero Montoya, who is pregnant., was charged with conspiracy to violate the state’s drug laws after Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Bucci said she gave her 14-year-old daughter cocaine to bring to the house of another dealer. Montoya, who wiped her eyes with a tissue and cried, was so overcome with emotion that she had to sit down.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this slime?
The paper loves the illegals, don't they?
Even when they are running drugs that kill communities.
Police said that by nabbing Pereanez they had gone up the ladder and reached the top of the drug operation.
Yup, next stop the CIA case officer handling him.
In addition to the wiretaps, police said they had followed Pereanez’s runners as they conducted business, pulling them over for routine motor vehicle violations and seizing evidence like large quantities of cash and cocaine when they found them.
Yeah, ALL THIS PAID for by YOUR TAX DOLLARS, America!!!
Maybe we SHOULD just legalize the s***.
I'll tell you what, I'm not running out to buy any drugs.
I don't even want the prescription kind.
The arrests followed a two-year investigation that cost about $250,000 and involved about two dozen police officers from Boston, Chelsea, Revere, State Police, and the FBI, which funded the operation.
Oh, so it was the FBI that turned on him?
Is that why the kingpin is so stoic?
