Captured Fugitive and Associates Indicted on Heroin Distribution
Conspiracy Charges
APR 27  -- 
(NEWARK)   
- JOHN G. McCABE, Jr., the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") New Jersey Division and PAUL J. FISHMAN, the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey announced that a Newark-based alleged drug dealer and two of his associates were indicted yesterday by a Grand Jury for their roles in a heroin organization which distributed kilogram-quantities of heroin in Newark and southern New Jersey.
The Indictment charges Enrique Done, 35, of Newark, New Jersey; Juan Rivera, 33, of 
East Orange, New Jersey; and Itza Paredes, 36, of Newark, New Jersey with heroin distribution 
conspiracy.
Enrique Done was captured April 16, 2010, by the United States Marshals Service after 
being placed on their 15 Most Wanted Fugitives list less than a month before. The charges
 against Enrique Done arose out of a case investigated by the New Jersey Division of the ("DEA").
Enrique Done and Rivera were previously charged in a June 2009 Complaint which 
alleged, among other things, that Enrique Done was running an organization which obtained 
heroin through various sources, including couriers who transported narcotics into the United 
States from the Dominican Republic. Rivera is described as an associate of Enrique Done's who, among other duties in the organization, would transport supplies of heroin for Enrique Done by the use of a hidden trap in his vehicle.
Four additional alleged associates of Enrique Done's heroin trafficking organization were 
charged in the June 2009 criminal Complaint. Enrique Done allegedly helped his brother Juan 
Carlos Done, himself under federal Indictment in New Jersey, with the distribution of kilogram quantities of cocaine. The Indictment against Juan Carlos Done is pending. Of the three other 
defendants charged with Enrique Done, two, Luis Corporan and Martin Monsegur, have pleaded 
guilty; the Complaint against Christopher Peralta is pending.
Paredes, Enrique Done's common-law wife, was also previously charged with heroin 
distribution conspiracy in a separate, November 2009 Complaint. According to that Complaint, 
Enrique Done learned that he was being watched by law enforcement in May 2009, and he and 
Paredes arranged to move heroin and drug proceeds from places where the police might find 
them to a stash location which the organization controlled in Newark.
Enrique Done, Rivera, and Paredes are scheduled to be arraigned on May 5, 2010, before 
Judge Jose L. Linares. All three defendants face a minimum potential sentence of 10 years in 
prison and a maximum potential sentence of life in prison if convicted on the heroin distribution 
conspiracy charge contained in the Indictment.
In determining an actual sentence, Judge Linares would consult the advisory United 
States Sentencing Guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges that, take into account 
the severity and characteristics of the offense, the defendant's criminal history, if any, and other 
factors. The judge, however, is not bound by those guidelines in determining the sentence.
Parole has been abolished in the federal system. Defendants who are given custodial terms must 
serve nearly all that time.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited the DEA with the investigation of this case, and the 
United States Marshals Service for their apprehension of Enrique Done.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert Frazer of the 
United States Attorney's Office Criminal Division.
The charges and allegations pending against all the named defendants are merely 
accusations, and the defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
