If convicted on a charge of possessing more than half a kilogram of cocaine, FELIX-ROBLES
faces a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum of forty years
imprisonment, to be followed by a mandatory minimum of four years and a maximum lifetime of
supervised release and a $2,000,000.00 fine.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is being prosecuted

The details contained in the Complaint are allegations. The defendant is presumed to be
innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
