U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman: San Diego prosecutors proud to take part in delivering 'most crushing blow to Sinaloa cartel since El Chapo's conviction'
The Justice Department on Friday announced a sprawling fentanyl-trafficking investigation targeting Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel and unsealed five indictments charging more than two dozen people, including “Los Chapitos,” the sons of the cartel’s imprisoned former leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the charges alongside the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration and several top federal prosecutors, including San Diego U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “In the Southern District of California, we know the Sinaloa cartel is not an abstract organization operating in a far off place,” Grossman said at a news conference in Washington, D.C. “It’s responsible for funneling tons of drugs across our border with Mexico and directly into our streets.”Grossman said drug-seizure statistics show the San Diego region “has become an epicenter for fentanyl trafficking into the United States.
Garland said the Sinaloa cartel was running “the largest, most violent, and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world.” He said that operation was fueled by “Chinese precursor chemical and pharmaceutical companies.” The charges announced Friday were filed against cartel leaders, as well alleged chemical suppliers, lab managers, fentanyl traffickers, security leaders, money launderers and weapons traffickers. Many of the suspects remain at large, while those in custody were arrested in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Greece and the U.S.against two Chinese companies and five Chinese citizens for allegedly supplying precursor chemicals for illicit fentanyl to the Sinaloa cartel.
