Drug Cartel Leaders Face Charges in U.S. and Mexico

U.S. and Mexican law are joining forces to stop the flow of drugs, weapons and cash across the Southwest border.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has announced criminal charges against 43 drug cartel members in the United States and Mexico.

[Eric Holder, Attorney General]:
"Today we are announcing a coordinated action — major drug trafficking charges against 43 individuals including cartel leaders, members, and associates in two federal districts in 12 indictments.

The accusations claim that for the past 20 years, the defendants and their allies imported and distributed on American soil nearly 200 tons of cocaine and vast stores of heroin that fetched more than $5 billion U.S. dollars.

[Eric Holder, Attorney General]:
"Our friends and partners in Mexico are waging a historic and heroic battle with the cartels as we speak. This is not a fight that we in the United States can afford to watch from the sidelines. The stakes are too high and the consequences are too real for us.

The cases were filed in New York and Chicago with eight defendants being arrested over the past week. But many members of the "Sinaloa Cartel, also known as "The Federation, still remain at large.

@SirGriefALot The govt also take your money to protect the Afghanistan opium fields and the opium growers. Did you know that Karzai's brother is 1 of the biggest heroin manufacturers and trafficker in the world and he's also on the cia payroll. Don't fuck with the US's drug dealing. The US's war on drugs is bogus, they only go after the ones that the govt aren't making any money out of. Did you also know it was the cia who first started bringing crack into the US
