A man who helped a father and son from Chicago supply a large-scale drug trafficking ring in the Quad-Cities has been sentenced in federal court to 10 years in prison and faces possible deportation.

Celio Ramos Guizar was charged with distributing at least 5 kilograms of cocaine.

He also was charged with unlawful entry after deportation, for which he will serve a two-year sentence that will run at the same time with his other sentence.

Guizar will likely be deported to serve eight years of supervised release, his attorney, Donovan Robertson, said.

Marcos Marmolejo and Enrique Marmolejo have also pleaded guilty to distributing cocaine and await sentencing. They each face 10 years to life in prison.

The Marmolejos supplied cocaine to Mario Murray, who admitted he was an organizer of a multimillion-dollar operation that included his hometown of Chicago as well as the Quad-Cities, federal court records state.

Murray’s mother, Jeanette Murray, pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy for helping hide at least $350,000 in drug proceeds. Tina Hollins, a postal worker also living in the Chicago area, pleaded guilty to being a courier for Mario Murray.

Mario Murray, who faced the possibility of life in prison, was sentenced last year to 23 years behind bars, due to his cooperation with federal drug agents. His mother was given a three-year prison sentence due to her medical health. Hollins’ sentencing was cancelled and never rescheduled.

A fourth person, Sohrab Tebyanian, pleaded guilty to money laundering. Tebyanian is the owner of Andriana Furs, which has a shop on Chicago’s famed Michigan Avenue. He was sentenced to three years probation and a $150,000 fine.
