An investigation started in January led to the arrest of three members of the Sinaloa cartel, residents of the state of Arizona , judicial sources reported.
The detainees are Carlos Armando Pérez Gutiérrez , 38, Alfredo Ríos , 44, and Iván Garduño Valencia , 35, who operated in Mesa (Arizona), according to the investigation coordinated by the DEA with the Scottsdale police (Arizona).
The criminal organization imported cocaine , methamphetamine, heroin and pills with fentanyl from Mexico and exported the money obtained from the sale of illegal drugs across the border , according to court documents.
Agents spent months monitoring the homes and hiding places of the organization, as well as intercepting encrypted communications.
According to court documents, drugs were sent to Las Vegas (Nevada), as well as to Colorado, Texas and other states of the United States. During the investigation, the agents seized more than $ 200,000 in prohibited drugs and intercepted more than $ 75,000 in cash.
"We were able to identify and arrest a boss, another leader, as well as a retail merchant. So those are three people in the hierarchy that we could eliminate in such a short time," said Erica Curry, a spokeswoman for the Arizona DEA.
The three men have been detained since Thursday with cash bonds of $ 250,000 on charges of selling narcotics , money laundering, aggravated assault and gun misconduct.
CDS all over Arizona and Sonora.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness . Got more money hungry animals out of our Country. MAGA.
ReplyDeleteAre all her 45 years there’s 3 trillion Dollar war on drugs has been a complete failure! The only winners have been the drug cartels. Do what most European countries and Canada are doing which is legalizing pharmaceutical heroin, that way doctors can prescribe a dose of that Will not kill someone and people can inject in a safe environment with nurses watching and Narcan at hand. Enough already with 45 years of Congress imposing their morality on us. Especially when it doesn’t work. Just the opposite, it causes far more death!
DeleteMichael74 - I couldn’t agree more! Not only that, but theft goes down too when people aren’t having to steal to support such an expensive addiction.

12:58 & 4:01 your problem is that you are just looking for a way to inject yourselves with your mariguana and you want it cheaper.
DeleteVice is not about paying taxes, but if it goes to saving lives I am with you.
Easy money will always be a factor for criminal purposes. Drugs have become a norm for many Americans. Educating oneself and people pertaining the harm of drug usage will always be the best approach.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never understood how anyone can say this is “easy money,” it’s not. It’s money that comes from illegal proceeds and it’s deadly, it’s hard to get and keep because of everything that comes with it… danger to self and family, tainted by criminals and their activities, etc. this is actually the hardest money to get, might come as “easy” because of how much it pays to do this but it’s never for the long haul. And, I’m my experiences, I’ve noticed that everyone involved in this crap will pay for it with their kids and their families, that’s a given. Sooner or later their kids become addicts, users, criminals, or live very unhealthy Iives.
DeleteExcellent catch 👍 good bless America. No bribes in America.
ReplyDelete7:24 working in private prisons for 30 cents a day is a kind of a bribe, other joints only offer eternal Salvation, but you get chosen, the good Prison life is not for you to choose, try and look pretty to get lucky.
DeleteA replacement has been placed for these individuals. Nothing changes.
ReplyDeleteShh..we’re not supposed to know that
DeleteAnd the replacements, will be caught.

ReplyDelete11:01 Heere you go with your pinche propaganda...
DeleteLugen Presse, Lugenpresse used to be a tool of the Hitlerians and their Dear leader, now called "fake news" to make shit great again that never was on the first place... Not for nothing the US and the Allies put that crap to rest on the 45 with the total defeat of the Hitlerians' Wehrmacht that will NEVER March in the US.
Tell ya what, people should not be crossing the border on cars, or with luggage, at least not without a special gigantic tax and fees, both ways. That should take care of these ant sized drug traffickers who steal the business from the real big senores del Narcos, you must admire their ingenuity, bringing the clavo in the Trunk tire well, must have been doing it since the first day of drug trafficking across the border.
ReplyDeleteWhat is clavo ?
DeleteThe last thing we need to do in this country is paying more taxes.
Delete@1:06, it is a hiding spot aka secret compartment.
DeleteDid they arrest the boss, "El Curtis"?
ReplyDeleteProbably hundreds more of these guys in the us
ReplyDeleteCaborca, Sonora esta calentando.
ReplyDeleteCash bonds of $250,000...WTF
ReplyDeleteChump change for these guys...
I'm sure a $250,000 cash bond is a real stretch for these people who have been operating who knows how long while AZ is asleep. Wake up AZ you are very far behind the rest of NE part of the country even with stiffer penalties. The see people with fentanyl should have no bail because it's deadly!
ReplyDeleteSo what, the dea, as well as border Patrol, ARE the smugglers.these "busts" are all for show.want to " win" the drug war? Its easy.take half the money; tax dollars we throw into the trash fire they call the drug war, and pay the cartels to not ship drugs into the us.we spend more "trying" to keep the drugs out than they profit off of them.but the FACT is they wont do it because they are in business together.the us allows the "cartels" to do business as long as they pay the right people.if they dont we get a b/s bust like this.the cartells are protected by the us as long as they play ball.
ReplyDeleteLol your stoned to the max.
