This week, two members of Texas Syndicate Gang were sentenced to decades in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and heroin. The residents of Corpus Christi, Jesse Martinez and Gabriel Galindo, pleaded guilty on January 2.
Martinez, 51, was sentenced to 30 years in prison, while Galindo, 46, was 24 years late. The two men were called long -standing members of Texas Syndicate by prosecutors. Texas Syndicate is a prison and street gang that has its base in Texas, but was created at Folsom’s state prison in California in 1978.
Kilos trafficking
The court held Martinez responsible for more than two kilograms of heroin and almost eight kilograms of methamphetamine. Galindo was held responsible for almost 10 kilograms of methamphetamine and more than a kilogram of heroin.
However, the court learned that throughout the investigation, the authorities calculated that the organization of drug trafficking from the Texas union probably distributed about two kilograms of heroin and two kilograms of methamphetamine per month from September 2020 to May 2024.
The court also examined its criminal history, including convictions for theft, burglary, weapons and drugs for Martinez. Galindo’s criminal history began at the age of 14 and include burglary of a home, multiple cocaine convictions – with a federal conviction for possession with the intention of distributing – and having a knife weapon during incarceration.
In addition, the court heard Galindo had been found with a stem, methamphetamine and bands of suboxone when it was imprisoned for this offense and it was dealt with under-boxing to other detainees.
Investigation
The investigation began in 2020 when the police examined the drug trafficking activities of Texas Syndicate. They discovered that Martinez received kilograms of methamphetamine and heroin. Galindo was one of its best distributors in the Corpus Christi region.
On May 21, 2024, the police executed a search warrant on the residence of Martinez and found that he was in possession of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and synthetic marijuana as well as three unmarked firearms. Several children also lived at home.
Galindo was also found in possession of almost a kilogram of methamphetamine, a kilogram of heroin and four firearms when she arrest.
The two men were and will remain in police custody while waiting for the transfer to an establishment in the Federal Prisons Bureau to be determined in the near future.
