Colombian Man
Pleads Guilty To
Drug Charge
Genaro Cuero, 64, of Buenaventura, Colombia, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy violation of the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act. He faces a minimum manda- tory term of 10 years in fed- eral prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
According to the plea agreement, Cuero was re- sponsible for arranging the transportation of several maritime cocaine smuggling ventures in international wa- ters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
He represented the head of a drug-trafficking organi- zation (DTO) and assisted with the smuggling of large quantities of cocaine. In April 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard in- tercepted a SPSS vessel that had been dispatched from Colombia by the DTO. The mariners aboard the SPSS vessel scuttled it, but the

USCG successfully recovered 93 kilograms of cocaine.
In July 2014, the USCG intercepted a go-fast vessel dispatched from Colombia by the DTO. During that inter- cept, the USCG seized ap- proximately 40 kilograms of cocaine out of a total load of 200 kilograms.
Cuero was arrested in Colombia in November 2017 and extradited to the United States in December 2018.
