A 41-year-old El Mirage man has been sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty "to conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens for profit.”
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Márquez last week sentenced Juan Manuel Soto-Guzman, a United States-based human smuggling coordinator, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
For about 13 months, he worked with his brother Adulfo Soto-Guzman to coordinate “the illegal entry and transportation of hundreds of undocumented non-citizens into the United States,” the release stated.
“During that time, Juan Soto-Guzman’s actions resulted in a large amount of illicit revenue for the smuggling organization.”
Adulfo Soto-Guzman was sentenced on Jan. 31 to 27 months in prison for his role in the conspiracy.
In addition to their sentences, the brothers agreed to forfeit a Rolex watch, a Movado watch, currency and gold medallions.
