b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced the indictments of two
Chinese nationals who allegedly conspired to traffic fentanyl, a drug that’
s more powerful and deadly than heroin, across the United States.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Xiaobing Yan and Jian Zhang used
the Internet to sell fentanyl and related synthetic opioids to drug
traffickers and individual customers.
While Rosenstein said the U.S. has been in working with Chinese officials,
he would not comment on whether Yan and Zhang are in custody.
“The U.S. has no extradition treating, but we’re hopeful the Chinese will
hold them accountable,” he said.
Rosenstein said Yan was indicted by a grand jury in the Southern District of
Mississippi for allegedly using different names and company identities over
a period of at least six years to advertise and sell acetyl fentanyl and
other deadly fentanyl compounds directly to U.S. customers in multiple U.S.
cities online.
Zhang was indicted in the District of North Dakota last month, according to
Rosenstein, for allegedly running an organization that manufactured fentanyl
in at least four known labs in China, and advertising and selling fentanyl
to U.S. customers over the Internet, Rosenstein said. | a********r 发帖数: 4013 | |
