40-Count Superseding Indictment Filed in Connection With “Operation Green Venom,” A Multi-Agency Law Enforcement Investigation
Raymond W. Kelly, the Police Commissioner of the City of New York (“NYPD”), announced today the unsealing of a 40-count Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Indictment (the “RICO Indictment”) charging nine individuals with participating in the “Rodriguez Enterprise,” a massive racketeering organization whose members allegedly sold large quantities of marijuana; engaged in murders and other violent acts; transported and laundered millions of dollars; obstructed justice and committed perjury; and engaged in firearms offenses. The RICO Indictment was filed in connection with “Operation Green Venom,” a coordinated multi-agency investigation that was led by ICE HSI and first announced in October 2010.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “As alleged, these nine defendants were part of a sweeping enterprise that has the blood of six people on its hands and that trafficked in tons of marijuana, laundered millions of dollars, and obstructed justice. Thanks to the continued dedication and commitment of our law enforcement partners, we are now able to bring them to justice.”
ICE HSI Special Agent-in-Charge James T. Hayes, Jr., said: “This organization allegedly placed their goal of profiting from the mass distribution of narcotics throughout New York City above all else, most importantly the regard for human life. Today’s announcement should serve as a reminder that law enforcement collaboration to combat narcotics trafficking and distribution is greater than ever.”
NYPD Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said: “This indictment illustrates the grim nexus between illegal drug sales, money laundering and deadly violence. We remain committed to working with our federal law enforcement partners to continue our efforts to rid the city of these violent criminals.”
The following allegations are based on the RICO Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court.
MANUEL GEOVANNY RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ (“MANUEL RODRIGUEZ”) is the leader of the Rodriguez Enterprise. He is charged with five murders and five attempted murders, including the murders of the following victims:
Francisco Perez, a/k/a “Francie,” on October 26, 1997
Antonio Kasse, a/k/a “Toasty,” on December 13, 1998
FNU LNU, a/k/a “Carlos Valentin,” a/k/a “Campi,” in 2000
Wilfredo Molina, a/k/a “Willie,” on May 3, 2004
Richard Cabrera, a/k/a “Bori,” on January 16, 2006
Other charges against MANUEL RODRIGUEZ include: trafficking in marijuana from 1992 through 2010; laundering money in New York, Florida, and the Dominican Republic; perjury; obstruction of justice; and firearms charges. MANUEL RODRIGUEZ has been in federal custody since October 15, 2010.
ORLANDO RODRIGUEZ, MANUEL RODRIGUEZ’s younger brother, is also charged with the murder of “Carlos Valentin,” and an attempted murder in 1996, as well as racketeering, marijuana trafficking, and money laundering. ORLANDO RODRIGUEZ was arrested in the Dominican Republic on August 16, 2012, and is detained pending his extradition.
FELIPE CANTRES-SANJURJO (“FELIPE CANTRES”) is charged with the murders of Wilfredo Molina and Richard Cabrera, as well as racketeering, marijuana trafficking, and two attempted murders. FELIPE CANTRES was transferred from local to federal custody in Puerto Rico today.
MIGUEL CANTRES-SANJURJO (“MIGUEL CANTRES”), FELIPE CANTRES’s cousin, is charged with the murder of Jose Caba on July 14, 2003, and the murder of Wilfredo Molina, as well as racketeering conspiracy, marijuana trafficking, and an attempted murder. MIGUEL CANTRES is currently in federal custody in connection with a Southern District of New York robbery conviction.
JOSE MANUEL ESPINAL is charged in the Racketeering Indictment with racketeering, money laundering conspiracy, and two instances of obstruction of justice. ESPINAL was previously arrested in connection with money laundering charges in December 2011.
JESUS SANCHEZ is charged with racketeering, marijuana trafficking, money laundering conspiracy, and firearms offenses. SANCHEZ has been in federal custody since October 15, 2010.
JOSE A. RODRIGUEZ, the older brother of MANUEL RODRIGUEZ and ORLANDO RODRIGUEZ, is charged with racketeering, marijuana trafficking, money laundering conspiracy, and firearms offenses. JOSE A. RODRIGUEZ has been in federal custody since October 15, 2010.
OSCAR RODRIGUEZ, a cousin of the RODRIGUEZ brothers, is charged with racketeering conspiracy and marijuana trafficking offenses. OSCAR RODRIGUEZ was previously arrested in connection with marijuana trafficking charges on October 14, 2010.
THEODORE JONES is charged with racketeering conspiracy and marijuana trafficking. JONES is currently serving a sentence for an unrelated narcotics conviction.
Defendants MANUEL RODRIGUEZ, JOSE A. RODRIGUEZ, OSCAR RODRIGUEZ, and JESUS SANCHEZ were arrested during an October 2010 takedown of more than 50 members of a massive marijuana trafficking ring that transported ton-quantities of marijuana from Florida and California for distribution in the greater New York area from the early 1990’s to 2010. In addition to the defendants charged in the Racketeering Indictment, the defendants arrested during that takedown included Roc-A-Fella Records founder Kareem Burke, who was sentenced to five years in prison on June 4, 2012.
The Racketeering Indictment seeks forfeiture of $25 million, which is the approximate amount of gross proceeds received by the defendants in connection with their activities; at least nine separate properties in New York and in Florida; and over $500,000 in cash and nearly 40 pieces of jewelry that were previously seized from the defendants.
All nine defendants are currently in custody or are out on bail in connection with a previous arrest. The charges against each defendant and the corresponding maximum potential penalties, as well as age and residency information are outlined in the charts attached to this press release.
Mr. Bharara praised the outstanding investigative work of ICE HSI and the NYPD. He also thanked the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Marshals Service; the Bergen County, New Jersey Prosecutor’s Office; the Englewood, New Jersey, Police Department; the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and the City of New York Department of Investigation for their assistance. Mr. Bharara added that the investigation is continuing.
The prosecution of the cases arising from “Operation Green Venom” is being overseen by the Office’s Violent Crimes Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amie N. Ely, Sarah E. McCallum, Jessica Ortiz, and Sarah Paul are in charge of the prosecution. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael D. Lockard is responsible for the forfeiture proceedings.
The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
