The leader of an international drug trafficking organization operating in Lane County and believed to influence Douglas County, responsible for trafficking large amounts of methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine into the state between 2018 and 2020, has been sentenced to federal prison on tuesday.

A release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon said 33-year-old Victor Diaz-Ramirez was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison and five years of supervised release.

Nathan Lichvarcik, Chief of the US Attorney's Office Eugene and Medford branch offices said: As communities across our state continue to struggle with the ongoing drug crisis, there are criminal enterprises, like the Diaz-Ramirez drug trafficking organization, the goal the only one of which is to profit from addiction and suffering. This extensive investigation demonstrates the deep commitment of all involved law enforcement agencies to combating drug trafficking and keeping our communities safe.

According to court documents, from at least March 2018 to August 2020, while operating out of Mexico, Diaz-Ramirez helped lead the organization responsible for trafficking large amounts of drugs from Mexico to the United States. She used a network of associates to transport the drugs from southern California to Oregon and deliver them to local dealers in exchange for cash.

The release states that as part of this investigation, law enforcement seized more than 178 pounds of methamphetamine, 12 pounds of heroin, 6 pounds of fentanyl, 3 rifle scopes and ammunition. Investigators also seized about $1.2 million from the organization, including more than $400,000 in cash. In all, 35 people, including sources of supply in Mexico, couriers, local cellular carriers in Lane County, and first- and second-tier distributors responsible for sales in and around Eugene were charged and convicted for their roles in the Diaz-Ramirezs organization.

On August 5, 2020, a federal grand jury in Eugene returned an indictment charging Diaz-Ramirez with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. On November 1, 2023, Diaz-Ramirez pleaded guilty to a superseding criminal information charging him with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, IRS-Criminal Investigation and several other agencies including the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team.

DINT Commander Lt. Rick McArthur told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the operation hit the Douglas County area hard. McArthur said indirectly much of the operation led to the end of drugs in Douglas County. He said that large quantities of drugs were also trafficked in the district.
