A Laredo attorney from a prominent family there was handed a 2 ½-year prison sentence Monday in a Dallas federal court for acting as a bag man for Mexican drug traffickers trying to pay off a government informant.
Alonzo Ramos, 40, admitted that in 2008 he acted as an intermediary for Mexican drug traffickers who wanted to buy the silence of a Houston-based smuggler who’d been busted. Ramos offered $48,500 to Lizandro Tijerina, who was on trial in New Orleans, in exchange for the smuggler’s silence. Tijerina, it turned out, was already cooperating with federal authorities and recorded his conversations with Ramos. Later, federal agents watched as Ramos delivered the cash to one of Tijerina’s relatives in Laredo.
