Army troops captured a man thought to handle the Sinaloa drug cartel’s financial operations in the states of Baja California and Jalisco, the Mexican military said.
Jose Sanchez Villalobos was apprehended Sunday in a suburb of Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital, the 15th Military Zone said in a statement.
Sanchez is wanted in the United States on charges of distributing cocaine, according to the statement.
Sunday’s arrest stemmed from the Nov. 18 seizure of $15.3 million in cash in the border metropolis of Tijuana, the military said, adding that the money trail led to Sanchez, who adopted an alias in an ultimately fruitless effort to evade police.
Sanchez was handed over to the organized-crime division of the Mexican Attorney General’s Office, the statement said.
The Sinaloa cartel is Mexico’s strongest drug mob and its fugitive leader, Joaquin “el Chapo” Guzman, appears on Forbes magazine’s list of the richest people in the world.

ReplyDeleteHow many financial operaters of the Sinaloa Cartel have they captured since the war on drugs started?? How many from the Zetas BLO CDJ AFO???
ReplyDeleteIts not that people are saying that the mexican goverment protects the Sinaloa Cartel,its more like the numbers,speak for themselves.
The Mexican government just needs to execute anyone who is found to be working for the cartels. Instead of spending a small fortune putting them in jail just so they can be broken out in a mass jail break.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the black eyes of catched Sinaloans? Been thinking for a while... They catch them here and there but doesn't they squeeze information from them like from other cartels or what?
ReplyDeleteAnd now its for all the sinaloa nut-huggers to start posting about how his replacement has been named, the antrax are gonna rescue him, he's loyal and wont talk, the millons seized are chump change ETC. So there I posted it before the dick licking sinaloa groupies post it.italic
