CARRILLO’S ACCOMPLICES ARRESTEDWashington. The United States justice system announced the arrest of 93 people involved in drug trafficking in its territory, linked to the organization of the deceased Mexican drug trafficker Amado Carrillo Fuentes. The arrests are the result of two years of investigations under the so-called “Operation Impunity,” in which the Department of Justice, the FBI and the DEA participated. Officials from the agencies indicated that the operation was aimed at dismantling drug trafficking activities within the United States, at the highest levels of the cocaine trade. The impact of “Operation Impunity” was significant in attacking the import, transportation and distribution network and with that we have substantially affected their ability to move cocaine and other drugs,” said Attorney General Janet Reno. $19 million in cash was seized, along with another $7 million in various assets, as well as 12,434 kilos of cocaine and around 9,500 kilos of marijuana. The official thanked the governments of Mexico and the Dominican Republic for their invaluable assistance throughout the investigation. One of the ringleaders, Gilberto Salinas, was arrested in Mexico and the Washington government has already requested his extradition.
