Luis Abel Toruno Sentenced to 60 Years On Fentanyl Conviction
Fort Myers -- Luis Abel Toruno, arrested by NETFORCE during Operation Block Party in 2020, has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for two counts of Conspiracy to Traffic in Fentanyl (28 grams or more).
The defendant is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence, after he was convicted in a drug trafficking case in Hendry County last year. That case was also part of a NETFORCE investigation.
The defendant was convicted following a jury trial in Lee County. He was sentenced to 30 years on each count, with a 25-year minimum/mandatory, to run consecutive to each other.
The defendant was identified during the NETFORCE investigation as a Fentanyl supplier to Lee County.
Assistant State Attorney John Dommerich Jr., Chief of Special Prosecutions, and Assistant State Attorney Natalie Savino, Hendry and Glades Circuit Court Chief, prosecuted the case.
NETFORCE was formed by State Attorney Amira Fox in conjunction with law enforcement agency partners, to coordinate a circuit-wide approach to infiltrating and dismantling drug trafficking
