SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A federal grand jury in the District of Puerto Rico returned six indictments charging nine defendants during the past week. The indictments include charges of drug trafficking, sexual exploitation of minors, firearms offenses, obstruction of justice, and carjacking, announced W. Stephen Muldrow, United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico.
The following defendants were indicted:
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office remains steadfastly committed to prosecuting those who violate federal law and affect our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Muldrow. “We look forward to continuing our work with state and federal law enforcement partners to ensure that we comply with our public safety mission, notwithstanding the current COVID-19 pandemic.”
Indictments contain only charges and are not evidence of guilt. Defendants are presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
