Authorities say both defendants are brothers, and that one handled money and organized supply, while the other served as a courier and worked with street-level dealers.
SAN FRANCISCO — Two brothers with multiple aliases were each sentenced earlier this month to four years in federal prison for operating a fentanyl ring that supplied street-level dealers, court records show.
Ultimately, both brothers pleaded guilty to the same charge of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer gave them the same sentence, four years in federal prison, followed by three years supervised release. But prosecutors expect both men to be deported to Honduras after serving their sentences.
“Enticed by the promise of reliable pay, he began selling drugs, mostly in the Tenderloin, and, eventually, mostly fentanyl given the skyrocketing demand for it,” his attorney, Matthew Dirkes, wrote in a sentencing memo.
