“Mora allegedly lured a victim from the Bronx to Georgia ... where Victim-1 was transported by car to an apartment in which Cabral Mora and others blindfolded, bound, beat, and tortured Victim-1 by burning Victim-1’s skin,” the government said.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration led the arrest of Cabral Mora with cooperation from the Georgia State Patrol, the GBI and a drug interdiction task force that includes more than a dozen police agencies in metro Atlanta, the release said.

Efforts to reach federal, state and local authorities on the holiday Monday were unsuccessful.

Cabral Mora, also known by the alias “Sosa,” is charged with conspiring to possess and distribute one kilogram and more of heroin, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and the firearm charge.

Each of the four charges against Cabral Mora carries a maximum sentence of life in a federal prison.

"This allegedly dangerous man is now off the streets and will face criminal charges in New York federal court,” Bharara said.
