Federal agents found more than 15 firearms, including AK-47s and AR-15s, in a box labeled “documents,” the Justice Department. The duo has sent approximately 50 boxes to Bolivia since August 2016, according to prosecutors. If convicted, Borda and Mayo could face up to 20 years in prison. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are investigating.
