SAN DIEGO –Nathan Dulley and Andrew Dulley, brothers from Los Angeles, California, pleaded guilty today for their role in trafficking drugs for former USC football player Owen Hanson’s “ODOG” Enterprise, an international drug trafficking, money laundering and illegal gambling syndicate that operated in the United States, Central and South America, and Australia from 2012 to 2016.
According to court records, the ODOG Enterprise trafficked thousands of kilograms of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, MDMA (also known as “ecstasy”), and other drugs, routinely distributing controlled substances at wholesale and retail levels around the world. The Dulley brothers, who imported and exported fine chocolate, played an integral role in the ODOG Enterprise by shipping large quantities of cocaine from the United States to Australia. Upon receipt of cocaine from Hanson or his associates – usually in quantities of tens of kilograms or more – the Dulleys would intermix and package the cocaine with legitimate merchandise, so as to disguise the true contents from the shipper and customs authorities. Using their established import/export routes, the Dulleys would then send the cocaine to Australia, where it was distributed and sold by other members of the ODOG Enterprise.
“Transnational racketeering organizations represent a clear and present danger to the safety and security of our communities. Those who assist such criminal enterprises by allowing the corruption of their otherwise legitimate businesses will be held accountable for the harm wrought on our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Adam Braverman.
So far, all 22 other defendants charged in connection with this case have pleaded guilty, including:
Sentencing for both Nathan Dulley and Andrew Dulley is set for January 22, 2019, before District Judge William Q. Hayes.
The case arose out of a joint investigation by FBI, DEA, and the New South Wales (Australia) Police Force in conjunction with the New South Wales Crime Commission. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew P. Young, Benjamin Katz and Mark W. Pletcher are prosecuting the case.
