Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced two new indictments related to an international Chinese fentanyl ring with a presence in 11 states.

The ring used approximately 30 different aliases, off-shore accounts and encrypted communications to ship fentanyl and fentanyl analogues from China into the United States.

Sessions announced the indictment against Jian Zhang, the alleged conspiracy ringleader, as well as the sanctioning of his biotechnology company and four other Chinese nationals who allegedly enabled the international sale of fentanyl.
