SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — A cartel expert says indictments handed out this week against leaders of the Sinaloa cartel are not going to keep it from manufacturing and exporting fentanyl and other drugs to the U.S. any time soon.
Everard Meade is director of Proceso Pacifico, an organization that works in communities impacted by cartel violence, including the city of Culiacán, home to the Sinaloa cartel, which is considered to be the largest manufacturer and distributor of fentanyl in the world.
Meade wasn’t surprised the U.S. Attorney issued what it called “first in the nation indictments for narco-terrorism” against the cartel and factions associated with it.

“I’m sure they have a lot of evidence behind it,” he said. “I don’t think it will be a surprise to anyone that they were indicted in the United States especially with all the attention on fentanyl right now.”
