DOJ Indicts Chinese Companies, Nationals in Fentanyl Bust

The indictments, unveiled in a news release, mark the second set of prosecutions since June to charge China-based chemical manufacturing companies and Chinese nationals for trafficking fentanyl precursor chemicals into the U.S.

"We know that the global fentanyl supply chain, which ends with the deaths of Americans, often starts with chemical companies in China," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in the news release. "The United States government is focused on breaking apart every link in that chain, getting fentanyl out of our communities, and bringing those who put it there to justice."

Eight defendants are also charged with international money laundering, the DOJ said. According to the indictments, the Chinese companies had demonstrated success delivering a stable supply to clients in Mexico for years.
