With respect to the charges in the first two indictments, Collazos was convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to receive and pass counterfeit currency in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 , 472, and 473. From the charges in the third indictment, Colla-zos was convicted and sentenced for one count of conspiracy to import over five kilograms of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 , 960, and 963; two counts of importation of a controlled substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952 ; two counts of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a)(1); and two counts of aiding and abetting in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2 .
