US Freezes Sinaloa Cartel Assets in Fentanyl, Human Trafficking Crackdown
Story by Dan Gooding • 16h
The United States announced Tuesday it was seizing assets belonging to two transnational gangs known for trafficking fentanyl and people into the country – the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel and Colombian Clan Del Golfo (CDG).
Known for its role in smuggling people through the notorious Dairen Gap in Panama, CDG is also one of Colombia's largest drug traffickers, the U.S. Department of the Treasury explained.
Sinaloa, meanwhile, allegedly sets up businesses in Mexico which mostly appear legitimate, but are used as part of its fentanyl operation across the border with the U.S.
"President Biden and Vice President Harris are committed to using every tool at our disposal to combat the cartels that are poisoning our communities with fentanyl and other deadly drugs," Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said in a press release.
