“As alleged, these defendants worked together to funnel dozens of illegal firearms along the iron pipeline into New York City over the course of a months-long conspiracy,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Multiple recovered guns were equipped with devices designed to inflict increased harm. Had these firearms fallen into the wrong hands, they could have fueled violence that seriously injured or even killed New Yorkers. Every illegal gun removed from our streets is a potential tragedy prevented, and I thank the brave members of the NYPD and ATF, as well as our prosecutors, for their outstanding work dismantling this alleged trafficking operation.”
