Edgar Valdez Villarreal, who is known as "La Barbie," was charged Friday along with five other people. Authorities are offering a reward of up to $2 million for his capture.
“This indictment shows that we are not content simply to arrest and prosecute those in our district who work on behalf of the Mexican cartels to bring cocaine into the United States," United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said. "We are committed to tracing the drugs back to the cartel leaders themselves, and we look forward to the opportunity to prosecute the sources of this cocaine in federal court in Atlanta.”
Prosecutors say Villarreal has become one of Mexico's most elusive drug suspects. Federal authorities say he is battling for control of a powerful Mexican drug cartel.
Mexican authorities have found decapitated and mangled bodies this year which they believe are victims of the fight between the two.
“This case strikes directly at the core of Mexican drug cartel leadership. DEA targets the highest level of drug trafficking organizations in an effort to dismantle their criminal networks," said Rodney G. Benson, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division.
Again, please be courteous and respectful and remember to stay on topic.
dont now me that well now
Well then....Hhhhmm...Let's get him a job with Acorn registering nonexistent voters like Mickey Mouse for the Republicans in the next election.
Oooops! My mistake....That was Obama's former group as a community organizer, and that was Goofy who voted 312 times in Chicago in the last election. Oh well...
Hhhhmmm....Let's go to Arizona, and stake out the border. Oops! My mistake! That's the LAST place you'd stake out today. Why everyone knows the entire rest of the USA wants the rascal...that is, except those outrageous law abiders in Ariona.
What are we....some type of law abiding country, where we're free to pick and choose which laws we want to obey?
Truth is, MOST American's are against the lack of law and order on our borders. Most American's, no matter if they're a Democrat or a Republican, want it taken care of, and right now, not supposedly somewhere down the line.
Problem is, the Democrats want the Hispanic vote, and the Republicans don't want to lose the 30% they get. Neither party will do a blasted thing, and the situation just gets worse and worse.
Being against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION doesn't mean you're a bigot or a racist. It just means you're an American, and others need to follow the same path you and others followed to citizensip, and that means doing it legally.
Sorry, folks...no cutting line. Get in it, stand there, and follow instructions like the rest of us.
By the way....Doesn't that fellow third from the back sorta look like this Drug Dealer from....Naw..Surely not!
