Massachusetts -- A transplanted Russian native who claimed Worcester as his home while compiling undefeated professional records in boxing and mixed martial arts, has been charged in a federal indictment with being part of an international drug ring.
The 24-year-old man, who now lives in East Boston, was charged along with 12 others following a two-year investigation that the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force dubbed "Operation Iron Curtain," according to a press release on the DEA's Web site.
The defendants are all charged with conspiracy with intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, conspiracy to import more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, according to telegram.com. rel="nofollow"
