A Mexican drug cartel leader is facing federal charges following years of allegedly trafficking narcotics into the country to sell to American citizens.
Jesus Ricardo Patron Sanchez, 39, was extradited from Mexico to face charges relating to drug trafficking in New York City, according to federal prosecutors.
Sanchez went by the nicknames “Diobolical,” “Xmen” and “James Bond” while allegedly working as the head of the “brutally violent” H-2 drug cartel.
“Our country is facing an unprecedented drug crisis,” DEA Special Agent in Charge Matthew Allen said. “Violent drug-trafficking organizations, like H-2, fueled by unrelenting and callous greed have been saturating our communities with poison, death and chronic devastation.”
