BOSTON — The notorious Valdez brothers, alleged to have operated one of the largest heroin rings in New England, have managed to avoid permanent deportation despite being tried and convicted for a litany of criminal offenses that date back to at least 1989.
Federal officials bagged the Dominican brothers Claudio, Hector, and Juan Valdez last week in a highly publicized bust, along with 12 other individuals identified as conspirators scattered across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, in connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ongoing Operation Triple Play.
