司法部长托德·布兰奇周四宣布，起诉81名涉嫌属于洛斯巴哈德奥（简称LBD）的成员，该组织是总部位于波多黎各的贩毒团伙。
布兰奇称，联邦调查局和波多黎各警察局于周三逮捕了70名涉嫌LBD成员，他们面临多项指控。LBD多年来一直在这个美国领土的西部各地活跃。
起诉书中指控这些嫌疑人犯有毒品持有和分销罪，检方称这些活动始于2021年。布兰奇表示，其中21名被告还被指控非法持有枪支。
他们涉嫌分销“大量”可卡因、快克可卡因、芬太尼、海洛因和大麻，获利达4900万美元，布兰奇说。

布兰奇表示，被告“持续供应高度成瘾且可能致命的物质，危及社区安全、助长成瘾，并将马亚圭斯的 entire 公共住房项目及附近社区置于暴力和混乱之中”。
据司法部长介绍，对70名涉嫌LBD成员的打击行动是在圣胡安国土安全特遣部队的调查后展开的。
布兰奇称这是国土安全部“打击暴力犯罪和非法贩毒流动”取得成功的“绝佳范例”。
“如果还有该组织的其他同谋或成员未被起诉，我向你保证，即便已提起公诉，调查也不会停止，”布兰奇说。“我们会查清楚的。如果我是他们，今晚可能会睡不好觉。”

记者会上同时宣布了周三针对厄瓜多尔贩毒组织洛斯琼罗斯（Los Choneros）和洛斯洛沃斯的行动。
布兰奇称，此次行动共逮捕26人，其中包括洛斯洛沃斯贩毒集团的4名头目。此前当地警方已于5月14日在基多的家中逮捕了该帮派的另一名据称头目爱德华多·戈麦斯。
布兰奇表示，警方从这两个贩毒集团手中缴获了1吨可卡因以及约100万美元的美元现金。
此外，当局称他们还缴获了35支步枪、26辆汽车、40多部手机和一架飞机。三座秘密机场和着陆跑道也被摧毁。

洛斯琼罗斯和洛斯洛沃斯自去年8月起被美国列为恐怖组织。
“特朗普总统称毒贩为恐怖分子，这是因为他们确实就是，”布兰奇说。“那些试图将可卡因运入我国的毒贩船只被炸得粉碎。”
布兰奇还宣布引渡来自多米尼加共和国的长期通缉可卡因大毒枭埃里克·兰迪尔·莫斯基阿·波兰科。
他从哥伦比亚被押解至圣胡安，将面临两起独立案件的指控。布兰奇表示，他还在新泽西州面临联邦洗钱指控。

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Thursday the indictments of 81 alleged members of Los Baja Deo, or LBD, a Puerto Rican-based drug trafficking organization.
On Wednesday, the FBI and the Puerto Rico Police Department arrested 70 alleged LBD members on numerous charges. LBD has been active for years throughout the western side of the U.S. territory, Blanche said.
The indictments charged the suspects with drug possession and distribution in connection to activities prosecutors said began in 2021. Blanche said 21 of the defendants were also charged with illegal firearms possession.
They allegedly distributed “mass quantities” of cocaine, crack cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and marijuana, which generated $49 million in proceeds, Blanche said.

Blanche said the defendants “maintained a steady supply of highly addictive and potentially lethal substances that endangered the community,fueled addiction and exposed entire public housing projects in Mayagüez and nearby neighborhoods to violence and chaos.”
The takedown of the 70 alleged LBD members took place following a San Juan Homeland Security Task Force investigation, according to the attorney general.
Blanche called this “a great example of the success” Homeland Security has had in “combating violent crime and the illegal flow of narcotics.”
“If there’s additional co-conspirators or members of this organization that have not been charged, I promise you that this investigation doesn’t stop because an indictment is returned,” Blanche said. “We’ll find out. And if I were them, I would probably not be sleeping well tonight.”

Also announced at the press conference was an operation that took place Wednesday against Los Choneros and Los Lobos, Ecuador-based drug trafficking organizations.
There were 26 arrests, including of four leaders of the Los Lobos cartel, Blanche said. This comes after local police arrested Eduardo Gomez, another alleged leader of the gang, at his home in Quito on May 14.
Blanche said one metric ton of cocaine was seized from the two cartels, as well as around $1 million in U.S. currency.
Additionally, authorities said they recovered 35 rifles, 26 vehicles, over 40 cellphones and an airplane. Three clandestine airports and landing strips were also destroyed.

Los Choneros and Los Lobos have been U.S. designated terrorist groups since August of last year.
“President Trump called drug dealers terrorists, and that’s because that’s exactly what they are,” Blanche said. “There are drug boats that are getting blown up because of trying to bring cocaine into our country.”
Blanche also announced the extradition of Erick Randhiel Mosquea Polanco, a long-sought cocaine kingpin from the Dominican Republic.
He was transported from Colombia to San Juan to face charges in two separate cases. He also faces federal money laundering charges in New Jersey, Blanche said.
