Pirro’s team has also been pursuing large-scale drug conspiracies that have plagued D.C. neighborhoods.

Major Drug Trafficking Conspiracy Dismantled
Last week, two D.C. men—Jamiek “Onion” Bassil, 32, and Charles “Cheese” Manson, 34—were sentenced to 135 months and 175 months in federal prison, respectively. Prosecutors say they were central figures in a fentanyl and crack cocaine distribution network tied to the “21st and Vietnam” crew, which controlled an open-air drug market in Northeast D.C.

According to court documents, the group’s operations centered around the 2100 block of Maryland Avenue, NE, where they sold narcotics daily.

Bassil pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.

Manson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl, possession of a handgun in furtherance of drug trafficking, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
