Jury Convicts Multiple Drug Dealers in Illinois, Oregon, England

A jury at Ipswich Crown Court convicted Zubair Sahak, a 24-year-old computer science student, of eight drug offenses, including supplying heroin and ecstasy, after a trial that lasted just 45 minutes. Sahak was accused of managing drug deliveries on campus and denied all charges, claiming ignorance of his accomplice's activities. Meanwhile, in East St. Louis, Broderick K. Currie, 36, was found guilty of distributing cocaine and fentanyl, with evidence showing he sold drugs to a confidential source. Currie's prior offenses as a career offender could lead to a total of 60 years in prison, with sentencing set for August. These cases underscore ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking across various jurisdictions, highlighting the seriousness of fentanyl distribution and its impact on communities. Law enforcement continues to prioritize the dismantling of drug operations, as noted by officials involved in both cases.
