DALLAS -- A former Dallas police narcotics informant has pleaded guilty to counterfeiting and immigration charges after serving time for his role in the fake drugs scandal, according to a newspaper report.
The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that Enrique Martinez Alonso could be sentenced to 20 years during a hearing Monday.
Court documents show that in 2008, Alonso sold an undercover federal agent and an informant $9,970 in counterfeit bills for $400.
He was arrested in March after being indicted in February. Alonso is being held in the Seagoville federal prison and couldn’t be reached for comment, according to the newspaper.
He served a five-year sentence for his role in a 2001 scandal that sent innocent immigrants to jail using faked drug evidence.
A former narcotics officer, Mark Delapaz, went to prison after he was convicted in the scandal.
