HPP: According to the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire, Jane Young, a man from Massachusetts was sentenced in federal court on Tuesday for his participation in a narcotics trafficking conspiracy that originated in Massachusetts and transported fentanyl and cocaine into New Hampshire.
According to Young, Osvaldo Soto Jimenez, who is thirty years old, was given a sentence of forty-six months in federal prison and three years of supervised release by Judge Samantha Elliott of the United States District Court.
During the month of August, Soto Jimenez entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled drugs.
Eighteen of the twenty-one individuals who were accused with involvement in the drug trafficking organization have been sentenced.
“As the manager of the dispatch operation that arranged the purchases and deliveries of fentanyl and cocaine, the defendant enabled this organization to traffic dangerous narcotics from Massachusetts and into our communities,” Young stated. “The defendant will now face the consequences of his criminal conduct by serving 46 months in federal prison. Other drug traffickers should be on notice that they will face the same consequences if they dare to traffic poison into our communities.”
“Osvaldo Soto Jimenez took part in a conspiracy led by his father that saw vast amounts of deadly fentanyl and cocaine brought here to Manchester, with no regard for the harm he caused in this community,” Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division stated. “Today’s sentence is a win for the FBI and all our partners as we work together to get dangerous drugs and criminals off the street.”
“Fentanyl and cocaine are causing tremendous damage to our communities in New Hampshire,” Acting Special Agent in Charge Stephen Belleau, New England Field Division stated. “Those who distribute these drugs are endangering the safety of the citizens of the Granite State. The DEA will continue to work each day alongside our law enforcement partners to identify and investigate those who are responsible for distributing deadly drugs.”

According to the authorities, Soto Jimenez was a member of a drug trafficking network that was based in Massachusetts and was “distributing significant quantities of fentanyl and cocaine in New Hampshire, primarily in Manchester.”
For the purpose of selling drugs, the organization utilized a dispatch operation. Customers who wanted to purchase narcotics would contact a phone number and speak to Soto Jimenez after they reached the line.
After that, he would dispatch a runner to ensure that the drug sale was carried out at the predetermined meeting place.

On three separate times, Soto Jimenez arranged for runners to carry out these drug trades, and on two additional occasions, he directly delivered the prohibited substances himself, according to Young.
Approximately fifteen thousand dollars, as well as drug ledgers, were discovered in his bedroom during a search of his shared residence in Massachusetts, according to Young.
Additionally, firearms were discovered in a hallway.
During the search of a car that Soto Jimenez utilized, approximately 94 grams of fentanyl and 196 grams of crack cocaine were discovered. These substances were wrapped in little baggies for distribution.
The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with support from the Manchester Police Department for the inquiry.
