The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) formally charged two top lieutenants of the Sinaloa Cartel with terrorism and is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to their capture.
This week, the U.S. DOJ announced a superseding indictment naming 42-year-old Rene “La Rana” Arzate Garcia and his brother, 52-year-old Alfonso “Aquiles” Arzate Garcia. The indictment charges the two men with various counts of narco-terrorism, providing support to terrorism, and various drug-related charges. As part of the announcement, authorities announced a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of each brother.
The terrorist cartel leader known as El Mencho kept a series of detailed records that show that in the area where he was hiding out, he had several local police forces in his payroll, as well as state and federal investigators also working for him. The records provide additional evidence that further support numerous prior reports from Breitbart Texas about how El Mencho and his terrorist group Cartel Jalisco New Generation had been able to buy influence at all levels of Mexico’s government.
