PHOENIX — An admitted straw buyer was sentenced to nearly four years
in prison for his part in a gun smuggling ring that was targeted in
the botched investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
Julio Jose Carrillo was sentenced Monday to 46 months in prison for
his guilty plea this summer to a charge of dealing in firearms
without a license.
Carrillo had admitted to buying 41 guns for the ring and falsely
claiming that guns he bought were for him, when he actually purchased
them for an alleged ring leader.
Federal authorities have faced tough criticism for allowing suspected
straw gun buyers for the ring to walk away from gun shops in Arizona
with weapons, rather than arrest the suspects and seize the guns there.
