Nelson Alexander Flores, 52, moved methamphetamine from Mexico into the U.S., where it was distributed
A Tijuana man who trafficked methamphetamine into the U.S. on behalf of the international gang MS-13 and the Mexican Mafia was sentenced last week in San Diego federal court to more than 17 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
Nelson Alexander Flores, 52, pleaded guilty to his role in supplying others with large quantities of meth from “various sources in Mexico” between 2018 and 2020, prosecutors said. The meth was then distributed across the U.S. A sentencing memorandum filed by prosecutors states Flores was responsible for moving 50 to 60 kilograms of methamphetamine and cocaine a month.“He imported these drugs into San Diego from Mexico, before they were sent to poison other communities throughout the United States,” acting U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden said.
The sentence of 17 years and six months in prison he received Friday will run consecutive to a five-year federal prison sentence he was handed down in Ohio. A sentencing memorandum from Ohio prosecutors states Flores conspired with MS-13 members to extort people “using threats of violence and death towards the victims and their family members.” The memorandum states Flores would call victims and demand cash, which netted him a total of $4,500. A portion of that money was used “to promote MS-13’s activities and operations in El Salvador and the United States,” according to prosecutors.
