Erick Randhiel Mosquea Polanco, 45, leader of a Dominican Republic-based drug trafficking organization, was extradited from Colombia to the United States to face drug trafficking and money laundering charges. The prosecutions are part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative. Mosquea Polanco made his initial appearance in Puerto Rico and will appear in New Jersey later. He is charged with distributing thousands of kilograms of cocaine and laundering millions in narcotics proceeds. Law enforcement seized cocaine and proceeds worth millions during the investigation. Multiple co-conspirators have already been convicted. The DEA and international partners facilitated the extradition, with assistance from Colombian authorities. If convicted, Mosquea Polanco faces up to life imprisonment and $10 million in fines. The case highlights interagency collaboration to dismantle transnational drug networks.
