A federal grand jury in Chicago has indicted a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel for alleged trafficking of heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine and ecstasy into the United States over more than a decade.
The two-count indictment, filed Monday in Chicago’s federal court, charges Cerefino Espinoza Angulo, 43, with conspiracy to distribute narcotics and using a machine gun in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime.
The indictment alleges that the conspiracy lasted from November 2014 until earlier this month.
Espinoza Angulo is a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, where he is believed to be. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.
The prosecutors’ office also alleges that Espinoza Angulo employed “dozens of gunmen” to aid the narcotics trafficking efforts, including “the Chapitos” — the sons of incarcerated Sinaloa leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzman Loera.
