    What we learned during this investigation was that between 2023 and 2024, large amounts of cocaine kilos were brought from Philadelphia and New York to State College, where they were cut and packaged for sale primarily to Penn State students. The two main dealers, the top of the chain, if you will, were senior members of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities. Agostino Abatiello was at the very top of the chain. Thomas Robinson was a rung below that on the ladder. And this poster here shows Operation Drugs Unlimited, and it shows the hierarchy of the organization. The evidence presented to the grand jury led to a recent presentment and recommendation of charges against 14 defendants. The evidence showed that cocaine was primarily packaged at the fraternity houses and that packaging was done by fraternity brothers and often time pledges. In fact, we found a pattern of events that showed cutting and bagging cocaine was for some pledges an indoctrination into the Delta Epsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
