A Syracuse man will serve more than four years in federal prison on multiple drug charges and money laundering.
Michael Gonzalski, 36, was sentenced Tuesday to serve 54 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine, possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute, and money laundering announced United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman.
As part of his earlier guilty plea, Gonzalski admitted that from approximately August 2020 until March 30, 2022, he distributed cocaine to customers in Onondaga County. The court determined as part of Gonzalski’s sentencing that he distributed approximately 10 kilograms of powder cocaine. Gonzalski also admitted committing money laundering by attempting to conceal the source of some of his drug proceeds through an automobile transaction.
United States District Judge David N. Hurd further sentenced Gonzalski to a three-year term of supervised release after Gonzalski served his terms of imprisonment, and imposed a $333,111 money judgment, which reflected the proceeds Gonzalski obtained through drug dealing.
