In the Matter of Roberto Marrero-Cisneros, Inmate Number: 24458-018, FCI JESUP, Federal Correctional Institution, 2680 301 South, Jesup, GA 31599; Order Denying Export Privileges
On May 19, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Roberto Marrero-Cisneros ("Marrero-Cisneros") was convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 371 (conspiracy to export stolen vessel parts and to smuggle goods from the United States). Specifically, Marrero-Cisneros conspired with others to export from the United States to Mexico boat engines and parts that were stolen, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 553(a)(1), and to export boat engines and parts contrary to law, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 554(a). As a result of his conviction, the Court sentenced Marrero-Cisneros to 60 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release.
