According to the Persian section of Voice of America, the FBI chief stated that they are accused of trafficking 'thousands of kilograms' of drugs to the southern border of the United States and ultimately to the streets of America. Patel added that the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice transferred these seven individuals along with their organizational partners to the U.S. He mentioned that the plane carrying these individuals landed in Florida on Thursday, and they will face 'American justice.'
