The gang also maintained stash houses in Lowell, where meetings and other illegal activities took place, authorities said. Phann faces charges of money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, cocaine base, fentanyl, methamphetamine and MDMA.
