Major Dark Web Drug Conspiracy Involving U.S. Virgin Islands Unraveled
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that an Indian national pleaded guilty to a drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy that spawned a drug trafficking network which used the dark web to conceal its illicit activities.
According to the U.S. DOJ, 40-year old Banmeet Singh was arrested in London in 2019. Federal officials alleged that for at least four and a half years, he controlled eight distribution cells within the United States, which received drug shipments from overseas before repacking and reshipping them to customers in all 50 states as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Canada, England, Ireland and Scotland. He was extradited to face trial in the U.S. in 2023.
The list of illegal substances sold by Singh’s network included fentanyl, DEA officials said.
