Penn State Cocaine Ring Ringleader Released | Philadelphia News

A former Penn State student, Agostino Abbatiello, accused of running a massive campus cocaine operation, has been released on bail after a dramatic hearing where his alleged co-conspirators testified against him. Prosecutors say he was the ringleader, smuggling drugs from New York and Philly into two fraternity houses, making hundreds of thousands in profit—and flashing cash at gambling tables. Fourteen students total are now indicted, with one key witness, Thomas Robinson, turning state’s evidence and pointing directly at Abbatiello. His defense argued he wasn’t violent and turned himself in, but the judge said there’s enough for trial. Robinson and others waived hearings, and even Robinson’s father faces charges for allegedly hiding evidence. Abbatiello’s next court date: September 30.
