SANTA ANA, CA – Lake Forest resident Mohsen
Youssefinejad, will
be sentenced tomorrow for smuggling 14 pounds of opium
into Orange County from the Republic of Turkey by
hiding it in hollowed-out decorative wooden picture
frames, according to the Orange County District
Attorney’s office.
On June 6, 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles received a call from ICE agents in New York about a package that had been received at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the package contained 14 pounds of opium concealed in decorative wooden picture frames. The package was addressed to Youssefinejad's business, Euro & America, in Santa Ana, and had a street value up to $3 million.
The Department of Homeland Security, ICE, the United States Postal Service, and detectives from the Irvine Police Department narcotics unit coordinated to monitor the delivery of the package once it reached Orange County.
On June 9, 2008, the package was delivered to Euro & America, a used car parts shop located in a Santa Ana industrial complex. Youssefinejad signed for the package. The defendant took the frames filled with opium inside and left them in the business. He then got in his car and drove around, making sudden stops and watching other cars to see if he was being followed by law enforcement. Youssefinejad then returned and picked up the package.
