Juan Correa, Jr., a 31-year-old man from Syracuse, received a seven-year federal prison sentence for his involvement in a cocaine distribution and money laundering conspiracy involving over five kilograms of cocaine. Between May and July of last year, he conspired with co-defendants to handle drug proceeds that were sent to a supplier in Puerto Rico. The case showcased strong collaboration among law enforcement agencies, leading to effective prosecution, and his co-defendants await sentencing for their roles in the scheme.
The sentencing of Juan Correa Jr., who knowingly distributed cocaine throughout Onondaga County and funneled the proceeds in an effort to flood our streets with even more poison, is a result of the collaborative efforts DEA New York and our law enforcement partners have when targeting those individuals pushing this poison into our communities.
This prosecution of a cocaine trafficking and money laundering organization was made possible by the close collaboration of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies up and down the East Coast.
