MIAMI — An investigation dubbed “Havana Ghost,” targeting drug trafficking and violent crime in the Little Havana neighborhood, has led to the conviction of three men following a long trial in Miami federal court.
The trio of defendants — Ulysses Cabrera, aka “Big Cuz,” 32; Bernardo Quinonez, aka “Macho,” 34; and Victor Smith, aka “OGP,” 26 — now face up to life in prison at their sentencing in August before U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga.
The trial, which lasted nine weeks, ended with various guilty verdicts Thursday for the three men. Before trial, more than 20 other defendants indicted in the sprawling case pleaded guilty.
