Man Is Detained in SDNY for Fentanyl Mill Then Son Belatedly IDed in Gallery

Man Is Detained in SDNY for Fentanyl Mill Then Son Belatedly IDed in Gallery by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 17 –A man made part of a two-defendant indictment for running a fentanyl mill in The Bronx was brought on September 17 into the U.S. District Court for the Southern District Magistrates Court. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.    He was asked if he understood the indictment - and he said no. He was asked if his appointed CJA lawyer had read it to him with the assistant of a Spanish language interpreter and he said yes.    He consented to detention without prejudice to making a later application for release on bond. Only after he was led out was a young man sitting in the courtroom gallery identified as his son. "You look just like him," he was told.   The overall case is USA v. Genao, et al., 1:26-cr-403 (Koeltl) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
