This morning, 37 prisoners serving their sentences in various penitentiaries across the country were transferred to the United States. All of them were wanted by U.S. authorities due to ongoing legal proceedings against them, stemming from their ties to criminal organizations, and because they represent a threat to public security.
Among the individuals transferred are:
• Ricardo González Sauceda, alias “El Ricky”, a regional leader of the Northeast Cartel with an area of operation in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. He was transferred to San Antonio, Texas.
• Pedro Inzunza Noriega, alias “El Señor de la Silla”, father of Pedro Inzunza Coronel, second-in-command of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel. He was transferred to San Diego, California.
• Juan Pablo Bastidas Erenas, alias “Payo Zurita”, a logistical operator for the Beltrán Leyva Cartel. He worked with Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, alias “Chapo Isidro”, and Óscar Manuel Gastélum, alias “El Músico”, the leader and lieutenant of that cartel. Bastidas Erenas was transferred to San Diego, California.
• Armando Gómez Núñez, alias “Delta1”, leader of Los Deltas, which belongs to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He was transferred to Dulles, Washington.
• Daniel Alfredo Blanco Joo, alias “El Cubano”, a logistical operator for the Pacific Cartel, responsible for trafficking drugs to the United States, and considered a high-priority target by the FBI. He was transferred to Houston, Texas.
