MEXICO CITY – Mexican authorities have arrested the leader of a Colombian drug cartel responsible for nearly half of the cocaine smuggled into the United States, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico said Friday.
The arrest of Jaime Maya-Duran “shows the determination of U.S. and Mexican law enforcement authorities to pursue the most dangerous criminals, including those who thought they were untouchable,” U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza said in a news release.
