Yesterday, Alvin Eusebio was convicted, marking a key development in the fight against narcotics trafficking in New York City. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams highlighted the 174th Street Crew, a drug operation in Washington Heights, noting that Eusebio played a significant role in an organization that ran its illegal activities smoothly using strict protocols similar to those of a legitimate business, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Eusebio was held responsible for helping distribute narcotics, including fentanyl, onto the streets. He was found guilty of managing the 174th Street Crew's complex distribution network, which included overseeing 24/7 coverage, disciplining members for missing work, and requiring proof of illness, such as a doctor's note or a positive COVID-19 test.
Eusebio's trial revealed the crew's strategic approach to sustaining its illegal trade, with managers, schedules, and discipline to maintain operations.
