Siragusa.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Marangola, who handled the case, stated that Nunez-Donastor and other members of the conspiracy were responsible for the distribution of significant quantities of cocaine and crack cocaine throughout the Rochester area, transported by vehicle from Pennsylvania.
