In a landmark case, U.S. federal authorities have charged high-ranking leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel with narco-terrorism, marking the first time such charges have been applied to drug traffickers in the country. The indictment, unsealed in San Diego, accuses the notorious father-son duo of orchestrating extensive drug trafficking operations, including a significant fentanyl network. Prosecutors argue that these leaders are not merely involved in drug trafficking but are also engaged in acts of terrorism related to their operations. The Justice Department describes this as a pivotal moment in the fight against organized crime, emphasizing the serious nature of the crimes connected to the trafficking of dangerous drugs like fentanyl and cocaine.
