2017年因提供芬太尼 杀害了两名美国海军水手 而在美国法院被定罪的 英国男子
British man convicted in U.S. court for supplying fentanyl that killed two U.S. Navy sailors in 2017 via dark web drug network.
Paul Anthony Nicholls, 47岁,英国男子,住在温哥华,2026年1月在佐治亚州美国联邦法院被定罪,罪名是2017年两名美国海军海军水手Brian Jerrell和Ty Bell中士在Kings Bay海军潜艇基地附近死于吸毒过量。
Paul Anthony Nicholls, a 47-year-old British man living in Vancouver, was convicted in January 2026 in a U.S. federal court in Georgia on charges related to the 2017 overdose deaths of two U.S. Navy sailors, Petty Officers Brian Jerrell and Ty Bell, near the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
他之所以被定罪,是因为他在名为“加拿大1”的黑暗网络贩毒网络中扮演的角色。 该网络通过已倒闭的市场“梦想市场”运作。 该市场利用空壳公司的标志,通过加拿大邮报传播危险的芬太尼类像。
The conviction stems from his role in a dark web drug trafficking network called "Canada1," operating through the defunct marketplace "Dream Market," which distributed dangerous fentanyl analogues via Canada Post using a shell company's logo.
美国和加拿大当局截获了40多个包裹,在Nicholls和同谋者的家中发现了追踪收据,并缴获了价值2 400万美元的毒品,可能给375 000人造成死亡。
U.S. and Canadian authorities intercepted over 40 packages, found tracking receipts at Nicholls’ and a co-conspirator’s homes, and seized drugs valued at $24 million—potentially lethal to 375,000 people.
根据联邦法律,Nicholls在签证过期后,于2018年被驱逐出境,将面临至少20年的徒刑,可能终身不得假释。
Nicholls, who overstayed his visa and was deported in 2018, faces a minimum 20-year sentence, possibly life without parole, under federal law.
该案突出了打击具有致命后果的非法药物贩运的跨境努力。
