1 month ago 3

Mexican authorities have captured the lead defendant in a San Diego-based federal indictment that was the first in the nation to allege narco-terrorism charges against suspected drug traffickers, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

Federal prosecutors in San Diego alleged last year that Pedro Inzunza Noriega had been a prolific cocaine trafficker since the early 2000s, and that more recently he became a leader of “one of the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl production networks in the world.” Prosecutors said Inzunza Noriega led a faction of the Sinaloa cartel.
