A Lynn man has pleaded responsible on drug trafficking expenses in a scheme that uncovered what the U.S. Legal professional’s workplace says it believes to be “one of the largest single-location seizures of fentanyl and methamphetamine in Massachusetts and the region.”
Sebastian “Bash” Bejin, 34, pleaded responsible in federal courtroom in Boston to expenses associated to conspiracy, possession and intent of distributing managed substances. Federal prosecutors say that just about 220 kilos of medicine, primarily fentanyl and methamphetamine, had been seized through the investigation.
The costs every carry a sentence of no less than 10 years and as much as life in jail, in response to sentencing tips.
Bejin is one among three defendants charged in connection to the large-scale North Shore drug trafficking conspiracy. The instances towards the opposite two, Emilio Garcia and Deiby Felix, are pending.
The investigation started with an overdose loss of life in Salem in July 2023, in response to the U.S. Legal professional’s workplace. Investigators then put their sights on the three defendants.
On Nov. 1, 2023, investigators searched 4 areas in Lynn they are saying the defendants frequented.
“The searches resulted in what is believed to be one of the largest single-location seizures of fentanyl and methamphetamine in Massachusetts and the region,” the U.S. Legal professional’s workplace wrote in a press release following Bejin’s plea.
At that location, investigators seized 9 kilograms, or about 20 kilos, of “pink hear shaped fentanyl-laced pills pressed to look like candy,” federal prosecutors stated. Additional investigation led to the seizure of greater than 75 kilos, or about 198 kilos, of fentanyl and methamphetamine, together with extra kilos of cocaine and chopping brokers.
