A former U.S. Marine who ran a ring that ferried tons of cocaine into the country from South America through Mexico has been sentenced to more than 16 years in federal prison, it was announced Wednesday.

 

Angel Dominguez Ramirez Jr., who holds both U.S. and Mexican citizenship, was sentenced Tuesday in San Diego after pleading guilty last fall to conspiracy to launder money and traffic drugs internationally, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.

 

Ramirez, 50, of Tamaulipas, Mexico, will receive credit for nearly six years he already has served behind bars.

 

 

District Judge William Q. Hayes noted the “staggering” amount of cocaine that Dominguez smuggled.
