BioBío ChileLO·MX · US · EC·about 8 hours ago
The son-in-law of CJNG leader 'El Mencho' was sentenced in December to 11 years and 8 months in a US court. The LeBarón family, victims of a 2019 massacre, are pursuing legal action to seize his assets, potentially including properties linked to the cartel. This marks a notable intersection of US criminal justice and cartel asset recovery, with implications for cartel financing.
