South Florida drug bust for Feb 2015 indictmentsHere comes the cash to lawyers just in time for them to pay their taxes! Thirty-Nine People Indicted in Massive Drug Trafficking Conspiracy

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA — The lawyers are going to be happy. There is plenty of cash being dug up out of girlfriend’s back yards, from safety deposit boxes, out of attics and storage units and being hustled off to the offices of attorneys all over Palm Beach.  No drug dogs are allowed to scan the cash deposits of lawyers, as that would not be sporting. That money will go to good use, as the lawyers pay their staff, buy new cars and new jewelry for their wives.  All is good in South Florida.

Thirty-four Florida residents were arrested in a drug trafficking conspiracy. A total of 39 individuals were charged, five individuals remain at large.

This case is the result of the ongoing efforts by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The OCDETF mission is to identify, investigate, and prosecute high level members of drug trafficking enterprises, bringing together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.

Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, ATF and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rinku Tribuiani and Robert Waters.

Prosecutors like to remind the public that dirtbags are not guilty until proven to be dirtbags and an indictment is only an accusation and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
