ALBANY, NEW YORK — Angelo Dalmau, 54, of Amsterdam, New York, was sentenced today to 93 months in federal prison for drug trafficking, money laundering, and firearms offenses. The sentence, which also includes a 3-year term of supervised release following imprisonment, was announced by United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman, along with Frank A. Tarentino III, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division, and Thomas Fattorusso, Executive Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), New York Field Office.

As part of his guilty plea, Dalmau admitted to selling approximately 250 grams of crack cocaine on five separate occasions between September 2021 and March 2022. Additionally, in January 2022, Dalmau delivered $149,500 in drug proceeds to another individual for the purpose of laundering the funds.

On April 14, 2022, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Dalmau’s residence, where they recovered approximately 100 grams of crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, $191,843 in cash, and a loaded pistol. Dalmau was arrested during the search and has remained in custody since then.

The case highlights the combined efforts of the DEA and IRS-CI in dismantling drug trafficking operations and the laundering of illegal proceeds.
