<p>Manuel Geovanny Rodriguez-Perez, a drug kingpin who dominated New York City’s marijuana trade alongside rap giant Kareem “Biggs” Burke, credited with launching Jay Z’s career, in court Tuesday admitted to coordinating nine murders.<br />
Rodriguez-Perez, aka “El Monstruo,” 43, ran a vast marijuana empire from the early 1990s to 2010, and put out dozens of hits.<br />
Perez, pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy in Manhattan federal court and admitted responsibility for nine murders and 10 attempted murders in that conspiracy.<br />
During his trial the prosecution said of Perez and his gang:<br />
&#8220;They dominated the wholesale marijuana market in New York for 20 years.&#8221; and he was a person to be feared.<br />
&#8220;He has either wiped out or threatened to wipe out competitors,&#8221; Hayes said.</p>

<p>Starting in 1992, Perez&#8217;s ring made more than $20 million by trucking tons of marijuana into the city where the dope was split up and distributed by three cells, the papers state.<br />
The marijuana was masked by shipping it in tractor-trailers filled with flowers, a law enforcement source said. The pot was packed into separate boxes marked with an &#8220;x,&#8221; the source said. Perez paid his suppliers by using couriers who took &#8220;commercial flights with large amounts of cash hidden in their luggage,&#8221; the papers state.<br />
At the time of the arrest, the feds seized $1 million in drug profits and 177 pounds of pot.</p>

<p>He faces up to life in prison, officials said.<br />
Rodriguez-Perez’s lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment.<br />
Biggs, the Roc-a-Fella Records co-founder credited with launching Jay Z to fame, was recorded talking to the self-described “Monster” about marijuana suppliers.<br />
Cops also spotted him loading Rodriguez-Perez’s money into his BMW trunk, the feds alleged in October 2010.</p>

<p>Another top honcho in their $20 million operation was Matthew Woodstock Stang — an ex ad exec for &#8220;High Times&#8221; magazine, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara&#8217;s office charged.<br />
Asked about the plea, Rodriguez-Perez&#8217;s lawyer, Richard Ware Levitt, said, &#8220;He&#8217;s accepted responsibility for his conduct, and now we&#8217;re moving towards his sentence.&#8221;</p>
