Millions for drug traffickers “Pez” and “Fresa”: business is not so sweet
The Gringo government, in its eternal fight against drug trafficking, has just raised the bet: 5 and 3 million dollars for information that leads to the arrest of Johnny and José Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga, alias “Pez” and “Fresa” (yes, like fruit, but nothing refreshing). These brothers are the brains of La Nueva Familia Michoacana, a cartel that sounds like a soap opera but is 100% real and dangerous.
It’s not an episode of “Narcos”, it’s real life
The State Department dropped the bomb under the Narcotics Rewards Program, and it’s not just anything: it’s the first time a Mexican cartel has been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. In other words, they went from being “bad” to “super bad with a diploma.” According to the DEA, these guys move 36 tons of methamphetamine, 12 of heroin and another 12 of cocaine per year to the United States. Basically, they are the Jeff Bezos of drugs, but without a friendly smile.
In addition to the rewards, the Treasury Department froze their assets (because, of course, even drug traffickers have PayPal accounts). The charges include conspiracy to traffic heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl. In other words, the complete disaster menu.
Moral? If you see a guy named “Fish” or “Strawberry” with a wad of cash and an unfriendly face, you better call the FBI. You could pay for university… or a holiday in Ibiza.
