HOUSTON, Texas — Two Venezuelan nationals have been charged with supporting a terrorist organization and drug distribution, according to U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei. Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano, 37, and Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, 24, are accused of conspiring to provide material support to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) and distributing cocaine intended for the United States.
A federal grand jury in Houston returned a superseding indictment on April 8, which has now been unsealed. Martinez Flores was arrested in Colombia on March 31 and remains in custody pending further proceedings. Mosquera Serrano is currently a fugitive and has been added to the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List.
“Transnational criminal gangs and cartels have preyed upon Americans for far too long,” said Ganjei. “That ends now. The Southern District of Texas is committed to smashing these criminal terror groups and will use every available legal tool to do so.”…
