The owner of a Texas trucking company has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for his involvement in a Mexico-to-Chicago drug pipeline.

Jose Farias, 44, was convicted by a federal jury in Chicago in 2021 on drug conspiracy and possession charges, according to the U.S. State's Attorney's Office. He received his sentence on Monday. Farias owned a trucking company in McAllen, Texas, and lived in Mexico when he arranged for truck drivers to transport dozens of kilograms of narcotics to the Chicago area in 2015 and 2016, officials said.

Farias supervised traffickers who unloaded the trucks in the Chicago area and distributed the drugs to sellers.The traffickers also hid their money from selling the narcotics in the trucks while transporting them back to Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
