Trafficker Sold Out Laredo LawyerTraficante Agotada A Abogado De Laredo
A Laredo lawyer who pleaded guilty earlier this month to a racketeering charge was sold out by a Houston-based drug trafficker with connections in Mexico and across the U.S., according to court documents.
Alonzo Ramos, a 40-year-old attorney from a politically connected Laredo family, pleaded guilty in a Dallas federal court to one count of interstate travel in aid of racketeering.
According to his plea agreement, Ramos acted as an intermediary between the Houston trafficker, who was facing charges in Louisiana, and other traffickers who wanted him to keep quiet.
Ramos gave the trafficker $48,500 in drug proceeds not to snitch, according to the plea agreement.
But the trafficker, Lizandro Tijerina, was already cooperating with authorities.
Tijerina testified in a 2008 trial in Louisiana that in the early 2000s he moved hundreds of pounds of cocaine a month to cities like Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans and to states as far north as New York and New Jersey. Tijerina testified that he purchased the cocaine from the Gulf Cartel in Mexico.
Tijerina allowed federal agents to record his conversations with Ramos, according to court records.
