Guam - Federal prosecutors
intend to seek life in prison for at least two of ten defendants charged in an
indictment that was unsealed in the District Court on Thursday. Assistant U.S. Attorney
Fred Black filed information against Anthony Aro Villanueva (aka, "Brando"
or "Nunoy"), and Elizabeth F.L. Aguon.
The information gives notice of the feds' intention to seek
an enhanced punishment of not less than the mandatory minimum term of life
imprisonment, if they are convicted of conspiracy to distribute more than 50
grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
Both Villanueva and Aguon have two prior felony drug convictions. The two are among ten defendants in a large
drug trafficking and narcotics investigation that was known as Operation
Fili-Islander, accused of conspiring to distribute large quantities of the drug
Ice with Mateo Sardoma Jr., Rudy Sablan, and others.
