Sentenced in San Antonio federal drug conspiracy
What we know:
According to the court documents, 28-year-old Alfredo Landin, also known as "Fredo," imported large amounts of meth from Mexico and distributed the drugs to dealers in the San Antonio area. Landin arranged for drivers to deliver at least 10 kilograms of narcotics at a time using hidden compartments.
On July 19, 2021, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Texas Department of Public Safety (Texas DPS) found about 8 kilograms of meth and 3.5 kilograms of heroin in a vehicle traveling to deliver the drugs to Landin in Indian Creek, according to court documents.
Landin was arrested on April 19, 2024, and pleaded guilty March 4, 2025. He was sentenced in June to 151 months in a separate case in which he also pleaded guilty to trafficking methamphetamine.
According to prosecutors, the sentences will run concurrently.

What they're saying:
"Alfredo Landin was responsible for importing large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin from Mexico to exploit our communities for financial gain," U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons said. "Thanks to the tireless efforts of our DEA and DPS partners, we were able to interdict a large shipment of narcotics just before it was delivered to Landin."
The DEA and Texas DPS investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Yuen prosecuted it.
