Former U.S. Army interpreter from Iraq gets 30 years for dealing fentanyl on dark web

Former U.S. Army interpreter from Iraq gets 30 years for dealing fentanyl on dark webAlaa Mohammed Allawi, 30, who pleaded guilty to drug and weapons charges, was also ordered to forfeit his San Antonio, Texas home, a Maserati sportscar, firearms, jewelry, his stake in a California-based coffee franchise and nearly $50,000 in U.S. and crypto-currencies. "From his use of the dark web, to his clandestine manufacturing of counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl, to his drug sales targeting college students, Allawi operated with little concern for the people in our communities," Will Glaspy, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge, said in a written statement. Defense attorney Anthony Cantrell said Allawi had accepted responsibility for his actions but as an immigrant had not been aware of the full dangers of fentanyl.
