Mexico City, Mexico — A Mexican national considered a fugitive from U.S. justice has been extradited. Jorge “S” was returned to the United States by federal marshals to face charges of transporting drugs from Guatemala to the U.S.
Jorge “S”, a Mexican national, was a middleman for the drug shipments from the far south into the U.S. He was wanted by a Texas court for his participation in shipping drugs from Guatemala to Mexico and then on to the U.S.
“Jorge “S” was a member of an organization based in Mexico that was responsible for acquiring, transporting and trafficking drugs from Guatemala to Mexico and then to the United States,” police said in a statement.
“Following the efforts of the FGR, the Government of Mexico granted the extradition of the defendant to the Government of the United States after he was arrested in 2023 in the state of Puebla,” they said.
Jorge “S” was wanted by the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Texas. He was handed over to U.S. authorities at Toluca International Airport in the State of Mexico from where he was returned to the U.S. to face charges.
