A former attorney from Mexico was sentenced on June 21, 2024, to 90 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, announced U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. Gustavo Castellanos-Tapia, 38, of Burien, Washington, was a significant supplier of methamphetamine to a drug trafficking organization with ties to the prison gang known as the “Aryan Family.” Chief U.S. District Judge David G. Estudillo rejected defense arguments that Castellanos-Tapia played a minor role in the drug ring.
