Authorities took down a massive heroin ring in the Bronx, seizing more than $22 million worth of drugs, officials announced Thursday.

A total of 32 people were indicted in the international drug trafficking scheme in which authorities recovered more than 103 pounds of heroin and the powerful opioid Fentanyl, officials said.

The alleged crew members were charged in a 72-count indictment on a slew of charges including, conspiracy, operating as a major trafficker – which carries a sentence of life in prison – and criminal sale of a controlled substance.

“Operation Open Market” – the investigation by the Drug Enforcement Agency, the NYPD’s Bronx Gang Squad, and the Bronx DA’s office – found that the scheme was bringing in heroin and Fentanyl from Honduras through Mexico to Los Angeles, where the drugs were being hauled on tractor trailers into the New York area, officials said.

“This operation spanned three countries and trafficked drugs 5,200 miles. We will go wherever investigations take us to eradicate this scourge that has destroyed lives here in the Bronx and across the nation,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, whose office is suing the suspected criminals for $10.5 million in alleged proceeds.

The investigation began in February of last year when the NYPD looked into the crack cocaine selling by a pair of brothers, Steven “Steve-O” Rivera, 40, and Daniel “D-Boy” Rivera, 34, in the Concourse neighborhood of the Bronx.

The brothers allegedly arranged drug sales and supplied narcotics to street-level dealers.

Cops determined that people were coming from out of state to buy heroin there and that the suspects were running a wholesale heroin and cocaine trafficking ring supplied by Jason “Jay” Alvarez, 37, of Fort Lee, New Jersey, Viannet “Skid” Espinal, 39, of the Bronx, and Joel “Gucci” Velazquez, 27, also of the Bronx.

Alvarez was spotted on surveillance footage allegedly conducting transactions for the drug ring inside his family’s restaurant Celia’s on Fordham road, officials said.

Suspects Steven “Stevie G” Gonzalez, 38, and Gina DiBacca, 32, both of Worcester, Massachusetts allegedly purchased $33,550 of heroin a month for at least 8 months and took it to Worcester where they sold the drugs for four times the price they paid for it in the Bronx, authorities said.

“Heroin and Fentanyl are the nation’s number one drug threat and distribution networks like Alvarez’ are responsible for the proliferation of this health crisis throughout the Northeast,” DEA special agent James Hunt said.

During the investigation, DEA agents confiscated $920,000.
