Malam Bacai Sanha Jr., the son of a former president of Guinea-Bissau, has been sentenced to more than six and a half years in prison for his involvement in a transnational heroin trafficking conspiracy, as announced by the US Justice Department on Tuesday.
According to the statement released by the US Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Sanha Jr., aged 52, had planned to utilize the proceeds from the drug trafficking to finance a coup in Guinea-Bissau. The objective was to facilitate his ascent to the presidency and establish what was termed a “drugs regime.”

Sanha Jr. played a significant role as a leader and organizer within the heroin trafficking conspiracy, particularly in its importation from Europe to the United States, according to the statement.
He was apprehended alongside a co-conspirator upon their arrival in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, in July 2022. Subsequently, they were extradited to the United States.
Sanha Jr. pleaded guilty in September 2023 to “conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance for the purpose of unlawful importation,” as stated in Tuesday’s announcement. He has been sentenced to 80 months in prison.
