The last two of 13 people charged in a large-scale South Florida cocaine trafficking conspiracy have been sentenced to prison, and authorities are still searching for two fugitives.
A West Palm Beach federal judge this week sentenced 44-year-old Osvaldo Domingo Ceballo of Hialeah to 18 years in federal prison and 43-year-old Yumar Oliva of Miami to more than 12 years. Both were convicted in March after a jury trial.
The two men were part of a cocaine ring that operated in Haiti, the Bahamas and throughout South Florida. Investigators used 14 separate wiretaps to intercept more than 33,000 telephone calls and text messages.
Cocaine powder and cocaine base used to make crack were seized. Investigators say hundreds of pounds of cocaine were smuggled into South Florida by the group.
