The jury found 34-year-old Juan Delgado (aka "Cachetes" and

"Marana"), 41-year old Luis Morgan and 32-year-old Omar Villareal (aka

"Shaggy")guilty of conspiracy to distribute five kilograms or more of cocanine from June 11, 2002 through April 11, 2007. Delgado was also found guilty of four counts of distributing cocaine and four counts of money laundering. 

Delgado and his 29-year-old wife Sylvia Delgado co-owned Super

17 years and six months in federal prison without parole. Ricardo Ruiz

(aka "The Rabbit" and "Conejo") co-owned Super Pollo with the Delgados.

prison without parole.

Four more co-defendants -- Raymond Sparks, Cruz Santa-Anna, Julian

Araiza and Jose Canales -- pleaded guilty but haven't been sentenced

yet. 

Three men -- Fernando Chavez (aka "Mr. Magoo," "Old Boy" and

"Nando"), Carlos Hernandez and Jose Ortega-Gallegos -- are still on the

run.

Juan Delgado,  Luis Morgan and Omar Villareal face a mandory minimum

of 10 years in federal prison without parole and up to life in federal

prison. Sylvia Delgado faces up to 40 years in federal prison without

parole.
