A Chinese national has been indicted for allegedly importing more than 2,000 kilograms, or 2 tons, of fentanyl precursors from China, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on July 22.
Minsu Fang, 48, also known as “Fernando,” and his associates allegedly had the chemicals shipped from China to the United States before having them reshipped to co-conspirators in Mexico, according to prosecutors. The group allegedly sent about 100 separate shipments between August 2023 and October 2023.
