Mexico Says the Narco 'El Mini Lic' Ordered this Journalist's Murder. Will the US Hand Him Over?
Mexican authorities want a Sinaloa cartel leader's son extradited, but he's already cooperating with U.S. law enforcement.
A federal judge in Mexico has issued an arrest warrant for the son of a former Sinaloa cartel boss accused of ordering the murder of a legendary Mexican journalist, but the quest for justice in the high-profile killing remains far from over.
The suspect, Dámaso López Serrano, aka “El Mini Licâ€, is already in jail in the United States. But it’s unclear when — or even if — U.S. authorities will send him back to Mexico to stand trial for allegedly ordering two gunmen to assassinate Javier Valdez Cárdenas on May 15, 2017.
Valdez was gunned down in broad daylight just steps away from the offices of RioDoce, the weekly newspaper in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where he was a cofounder and regular columnist. Attacks on journalists have become tragically common in Mexico in recent years, but Valdez’s brazen murder sent shockwaves across the country and around the world. Beloved for his gregarious yet gruff personality and revered for his nuanced and fearless reporting on organized crime, Valdez was the recipient of The Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Award. Immediately, his death prompted widespread calls for Mexican authorities to find and convict the killers.
