Drug dealer sentenced to 78 Months for Conspiracy to Distribute

A Mexican citizen was sentenced last week to more than 6 years in prison for his role in distributing fentanyl.
Eduardo Flores-Diaz, 43, of Mexico, was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge Jennifer G. Zipps to 78 months in prison. Flores-Diaz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl.
In April 2022, Flores-Diaz, traveled from Tucson, with three co-conspirators. The conspirators were subsequently stopped in Scottsdale by federal agents and troopers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, during a buy/bust operation.
Approximately 90,000 counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl were discovered in their possession.
This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces Strike Force operation. The initiative identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.
