SAN FRANCISCO — A man who, along with other members of his family, helped lead a suspected drug trafficking organization that federal authorities say offered housing to people who worked for them as street dealers, entered a guilty plea Wednesday afternoon.
旧金山——周三下午，一名男子和他的其他家人一起，协助领导了一个涉嫌贩毒的组织，联邦当局称该组织向为他们工作的街头毒贩提供住房。
Victor “Mojarra” Viera-Chirinos pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth, heroin, cocaine base, and cocaine. Viera-Chirinos was named by federal authorities as a high-ranking member of an organization led by his brother, Eduardo Viera-Chirinos, that shipped drugs from Los Angeles to Livermore, then distributed them around the Bay Area and as far north as Seattle.
维克多·"莫哈拉"·维埃拉·奇里诺斯承认密谋贩卖冰毒，海洛因和可卡因。维埃拉-奇里诺斯被联邦当局任命为其兄弟爱德华多-维埃拉-奇里诺斯领导的一个组织的高级成员，该组织将毒品从洛杉矶运往利弗莫尔，然后分销到海湾地区，甚至北至西雅图。
Wednesday afternoon’s plea hearing before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer hit a slight snag when Victor Viera-Chirinos was being questioned on his competency and willingness to enter a guilty plea, a standard process for such a hearing. When asked if he conceded there was enough evidence against him, Viera-Chirinos replied, “I believe they could prove the heroin, but I don’t believe they could with the other charges against me.”
周三下午，美国地区法官布雷耶(Charles Breyer)举行的认罪听证会遇到了一个小问题，当时维埃拉-奇里诺斯(Victor Viera-Chirinos)被问及他是否具备认罪的能力和意愿。认罪是此类听证会的标准程序。当被问及他是否承认有足够的证据对他不利时，维埃拉-奇里诺斯回答说，“我相信他们能证明海洛因的存在，但我不相信他们能证明对我的其他指控。”
“Where does that leave us?” Breyer asked.
“那我们怎么办?””布雷耶问道。
The process resumed after Viera-Chirinos’ attorney had a brief word with him, and he said “that’s correct” when asked the same question minutes later.
在维埃拉-奇里诺斯的律师与他进行了简短的交谈后，诉讼程序恢复了。几分钟后，当被问到同样的问题时，他说:“这是正确的。”
The complaint against Viera-Chirinos and eight others contains allegations that — had the drug trafficking group been a legitimate business — could have been prosecuted as labor law violations. The leaders of the organization would “sublease” apartments to street-level dealers, packing the housing units beyond their intended capacity with “up to 10 adult men,” sometimes with partners and children.
对维埃拉-奇里诺斯和其他8人的控诉中包含了这样的指控:如果贩毒集团是一个合法的企业，那么它可能会被起诉为违反劳动法。该组织的领导人会把公寓“转租”给街头商贩，让“多达10名成年男子”(有时还带着伴侣和孩子)挤在超出预期容量的住房单元里。
Another man, Cilder Velasquez, would routinely travel to each of these “redistributor houses” and supply them with drugs to sell, according to the criminal complaint.
另一名男子，Cilder Velasquez，会定期前往这些“再分销商之家”，并向他们提供毒品出售，根据刑事起诉书。
During the investigation, authorities conducted multiple drug seizures, finding pounds of suspected heroin and meth, and in one, around $80,000 in cash. They also wiretapped the defendants’ phones, allegedly recording Viera-Chirinos speculating as to who had “snitched” on them when drug couriers were pulled over near Seattle and more than five pounds of suspected drugs were found in a hidden compartment on the car.
在调查过程中，当局查获了多次毒品，发现了数磅疑似海洛因和冰毒，其中一次缴获了大约8万美元的现金。他们还窃听了被告的电话，据称记录下了维拉-奇里诺斯猜测是谁“告发”了他们，当时有一名毒贩在西雅图附近被拦下，在汽车的一个隐藏隔间里发现了超过5磅的可疑毒品。
In one of these calls, Eduardo Viera-Chirinos allegedly talked about wanting to murder someone in Honduras, prosecutors alleged in a news release announcing the charges in 2019, as part of the so-called Federal Initiative in the Tenderloin, or FIT.
检察官在2019年宣布指控的新闻发布会上称，在其中一通电话中，爱德华多·维埃拉-奇里诺斯涉嫌想要谋杀洪都拉斯的某人，这是所谓的“Tenderloin”联邦倡议的一部分。
Victor Viera-Chirinos faces a minimum of five years in prison for the conspiracy charge.
维埃拉-奇里诺斯因阴谋罪面临至少5年的监禁。
