According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Alberico Ahias Crespo, a former special agent with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, has been found guilty in a trial for witness tampering, conspiracy to commit witness tampering, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

According to the DOJ, Crespo leveraged his role as an agent to further a long-term oxycodone trafficking operation and obstruct ongoing federal investigations into healthcare fraud.

The Department of Justice claims that Crespo abused his authority as an HHS-OIG special agent to shield an oxycodone operation run by three individuals with prior felony convictions. Among these felons was Jorge Diaz Gutierrez, who happened to be Crespo’s friend.

Gutierrez received valuable assistance from Crespo, who closely monitored the investigations conducted by the Strike Force. Crespo willingly shared sensitive information, kept Gutierrez informed about ongoing investigations, and even provided guidance on deceiving investigators and tampering with evidence.

From November 2016 to July 2020, Gutierrez, Yandre Trujillo Hernandez, and Anais Lorenzo participated in an illegal oxycodone trafficking scheme. This scheme involved patients, pharmacies, and medical clinics and resulted in their conviction as patient recruiters.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the recruiters were responsible for sending chosen patients to medical clinics in order to obtain prescriptions for oxycodone, even if the patients did not require the medication.

Once the patients obtained the prescriptions, they would exchange them for money. Subsequently, the patients would have the prescriptions filled at specific pharmacies designated by the recruiters and then proceed to sell the oxycodone pills to street dealers.
