Mexican Arrested in $90 Million Drug Ring By THE NEW YORK TIMES Published: October 6, 2005 MEXICO CITY, Oct. 5 - Federal prosecutors in New York announced Wednesday that a "Mexican cocaine kingpin" had been arrested, and said that he had been accused of transporting 10,000 pounds of cocaine, worth $90 million, into the United States in the last year. They said the man, Agustín Haro Rodríguez, was arrested while trying to enter Arizona from Mexico on Sunday on charges of drug trafficking and money laundering. An indictment said he had been responsible for distributing up to 500 pounds of cocaine monthly and had smuggled it across the border in trucks. Seventeen people accused of being accomplices were also in custody. "The threat of extradition to the United States has altered the way in which Colombian traffickers operate, with many of the largest organizations now withdrawing from the trade after transporting cocaine to Mexico," said Richard S. Sullivan, former chief of the International Narcotics Trafficking Unit in the Manhattan United States Attorney's Office. He said Mexican groups had "assumed greater control of the narcotics and money laundering trade on both sides" of the border. ------------------------ Yahoo!
