Christopher Gil, a resident of Schenectady, New York, has entered a guilty plea for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. The announcement came from United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III, Erin Keegan of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Frank A. Tarentino III of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Gil admitted in court that he distributed methamphetamine pills on multiple occasions in 2024 and worked with his supplier to distribute more pills. This conduct has led to his conviction.
His sentencing is set for August 7, 2025. Gil faces severe penalties, including a potential maximum prison term of 20 years, a $1 million fine, and supervised release ranging from three years to life. The final sentence will be determined by a judge, who will consider various legal guidelines.
The case was investigated by both the HSI and DEA, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashlyn Miranda leading the prosecution.
