2 more sentenced in Wisconsin cocaine ring

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A federal judge has sentenced two brothers involved in a southern Wisconsin cocaine ring.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb sentenced 32-year-old Maximo Pineda-Buenventura to 17 1/2 years in prison and 30-year-old Teodulo Pineda-Buenventura to 5 years for conspiring to deal cocaine.

The brothers will be deported to Mexico when they finish their sentences.

They were indicted in July 2008 as part of an investigation into cocaine trafficking in Jefferson and Dodge counties.

Four other defendants have been sentenced to prison. Four more are set to be sentenced next month. One is set to go to trial in March. Four others are fugitives.
