Feds Say CJNG Plaza Boss ‘La Roca’ Used Dallas Western Wear Store To Launder $10 Million

Jose Valdovinos Jimenez (who went by the alias “La Roca”), along with 27 other co-defendants, are charged with smuggling meth and heroin in from Mexico, distributing the product in North Texas, laundering the money through the strip mall western wear store, and sending the money back to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. 


The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas have confirmed that a Mexican cartel boss and nearly 30 of his co-conspirators have been charged with laundering more than $10 million. According to Erin Nealy Cox, the money came from drug proceeds and was laundered through a local western wear store.

A federal grand jury charged 28 individuals connected to Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion with conspiracy to launder monetary instruments and other financial, drug, and gun crimes, including conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, conspiracy to distribute heroin, and possession of a firearm. Dozens of those charged have already been arrested. “Drug cartels like CJNG wreak havoc across the globe, driving the spread of deadly drugs like meth and heroin,” said Cox. “We’re committed to tracking the money and disrupting these organizations by attacking their bottom line. By striking both the money and the drugs, we can more effectively impact the organization.”


According to the 38-count indictment, Jose Valdovinos Jimenez, a boss also known as “La Roca” or “The Rock,” conspired with his co-defendants to smuggle hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine and heroin across the Mexican border, distribute the drugs in the United States, launder the proceeds and then transfer the money back to CJNG leaders.

Couriers were allegedly used to smuggle the drugs across the border, recrystallization laboratories to purify them, and stash houses to store the drugs.

At Mr. Jimenez’s direction, dealers were believed to have transported drug proceeds to Yoli’s Western Wear, a clothing store on Buckner Boulevard in Dallas. The 23-year-old manager of Yoli’s, Ivan Noe Valerio, and his family members allegedly then counted the money, separated it into thousands of transactions, and ultimately sent it back to the CJNG in Mexico.

During the course of the investigation, agents seized some 700 kilograms of methamphetamine, 80 kilograms of heroin, and $500,000.

If convicted, Jimenez and Valero face life in federal prison.

    5. You will see 200 to 500 arrests of this caliber in the next 18 months now that 1000 Federal agents have been added to the DFW area of tests. Good luck to the drug cartels and their families spending life in prison.

    2. Maybe because the feds took covert ownership? Or ownership was transferred to somebody else?

  9. Start with the fucking money transfers! These gueros are hella greedy and got their double morality in play. In Mexico you have to register your name and family member who is sending you oney in order to get a money transfer and you get taxed here again in Mexico!. You are telling me that the US governemnet cant track money transfers? This sucks for people who make money online adn get taxed for your services not only from the money transfering entities but the Mexican governemnet just imposed a tax on any platform that uses streaming services. Come one FEDS you raid music stores, western wear stores you guys know where their at, Ill give you a clue Escapade fidays through suundays in the back of the restrooms the owner has cameras all over the place, you really thionk he is not in on it? SMH
