Accused fentanyl kingpin dubbed "Brother Wang" appears in U.S. court after being captured in Cuba

Accused fentanyl kingpin dubbed Brother Wang appears in U.S. court after being captured in Cuba

A Chinese drug trafficking suspect who escaped custody in Mexico only to be recaptured in Cuba has been turned over to the U.S. to face charges he trafficked large quantities of cocaine and fentanyl into the country.

Zhi Dong Zhang, also known as "Brother Wang" among other aliases, pleaded not guilty to the charges at his arraignment Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court. His lawyer declined to comment following the court appearance.

Federal officials say Zhang ran a vast drug trafficking and money laundering operation that imported thousands of pounds of narcotics into the United States and other countries.

"The defendant stands accused of running a global enterprise that pumped massive quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine into our communities and laundered millions in narcotics proceeds," U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "His return to the United States is a major step in dismantling a network that has fueled addiction, violence, and death."

Zhang's criminal organization operated out of Mexico going back at least to 2016 and laundered its drug proceeds through shell companies created in the U.S. using false social security numbers and other fraudulent documents, according to federal prosecutors.

Officials identified more than 100 shell companies tied to Zhang's organization that were used to launder at least $77 million in narcotics proceeds, they said.

Mexican authorities captured Zhang in Mexico City in October 2024 at the request of the U.S. government, but a judge granted him house arrest and he escaped the home where he was being held under military guard. Prosecutors say in court filings that he was eventually recaptured in Cuba and sent to the U.S. by Mexican authorities on Oct. 23.

Last month, Mexican Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch posted a photo on social media, showing a handcuffed Zhang next to an airplane, escorted by Interpol agents.

A wanted poster released by Mexican prosecutors in July said that in addition to "Brother Wang," Zhang has multiple other aliases, including "BW," "Pancho," "HeHe" and "Mr. T."

Zhang, who has been detained until his next court date in January, also faces a related set of federal charges in Georgia.

Government documents filed in that case describe a cocaine and fentanyl trafficking network with hubs in the Atlanta and Los Angeles metro areas. Millions of dollars from the drug sales were allegedly collected at stash houses in Georgia and California and deposited into accounts that Zhang could then access from Mexico, the documents said.

He is accused of laundering at least $20 million in the U.S. between 2020 and 2021 by using more than 100 shell companies and bank accounts, El Pais reported.
