A judge has given the green light for Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, alias “El Viceroy”, the former leader of the Juarez cartel, to be extradited to the United States, according to La Jornada.

Julio Veredín Sena Velázquez, seventh district judge for criminal amparo proceedings, annulled the amparo lawsuit and denied him the protection of federal justice with which the drug lord had sought to stop his extradition to the neighboring country for an indefinite period of time.

On July 27, 2023, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) granted the US government the extradition of 'El Viceroy', who is wanted by the Federal District Court of the Western District of Texas for money laundering and drug trafficking.

That same year, but in September, the same judge Sena Velazquez suspended the indefinite extradition of the brother of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, alias “El Señor de los Cielos.

In 2022, the Viceroy received an additional 20-year prison sentence, according to the Attorney General's Office (FGR), for organized crime to commit crimes against health.

In October 2014, Vicente Carrillo was arrested and placed at the disposal of a judge in order to be interned in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation 2 “Occidente”, located in Puente Grande, Jalisco.

Culiacán, Sin.- The woman who died last night, Wednesday, November 20, after a shooting attack inside a house that was also intentionally burned in the Renato Vega Alvarado neighborhood, south of Culiacán, was a neighbor of the Centro neighborhood, according to authorities.

The lady was identified as Juana, 47 years old, residing in the Centro neighborhood of this city and in addition to having carbon monoxide (smoke) intoxication, she had two gunshot wounds to the abdomen.

According to the information, the attack occurred around 10 o'clock last night in a house located on Mina del Peñon Blanco street, between Límite and Segunda avenues of the neighborhood, which is located next to 22 de Diciembre and Villa Bonita.

According to witnesses, there were several armed men who arrived at the property in several pickup trucks and after entering the house where the woman lived, they shot at her on several occasions and then set fire to the house with gasoline, after which the gunmen fled in an unknown direction.

It was the neighbors themselves who helped the woman who was inside the burning house who alerted the authorities, so minutes later a group of paramedics and urban rescue technicians from the Gerum group arrived at the site, who helped the woman in the front yard of the house, but she no longer had vital signs.

The scene was attended by personnel from the different police forces and the State Attorney General's Office to confirm the facts where they found several R15 .223 millimeter caliber rifle cartridges, while personnel from the Forensic Medical Service removed the body and transferred it to the Semefo to perform the legal tests.

The US Treasury Department announced sanctions against the Bonques brothers' network and five other individuals, who smuggle fentanyl and other drugs from Nayarit, as well as being associated with the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG).

The other five Mexicans sanctioned by the Treasury Department and members of the gang associated with the CJNG are José Adrián Castillo López, Luis Alonso Navarro Quezada, Erandiny Jazmín Arias Ponce, Araceli Castillo Peinado and José Sinue Castro Álvarez.

According to OFAC, the “Bonques Brothers” gang is led by Roberto Castellanos Meza, alias Beto Bonques, and is made up of his brothers; Ivan Atzayacatl, Giovanni and Juan Carlos, associates and close associates of CJNG leader Ruben Oseguera Cervantes el Mencho.

 The Bonques brothers have strong ties of cooperation with Audías Flores Silva, El Jardinero, the CJNG's regional leader in the state of Nayarit for the trafficking of all types of drugs and money laundering.

“The Bonques Brothers are one of the most prominent families in the state of Jalisco, dedicated to heroin trafficking, who during the 1990's played a preponderant role in controlling part of the market in the state of California,” according to OFAC.

The network that was subject to sanctions by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) alleges that the nine-person group is a key part of the CJNG's drug trafficking operations.

All of those sanctioned are subject to asset forfeiture and the freezing of bank accounts held in states and territories subject to U.S. financial laws, in addition to facing federal drug trafficking charges.
