Wilder Emilio Sánchez Farfán, aka ‘Gato Farfán’, had strong ties to Mexican cartels and was therefore targeted by the United States

In a statement, the Justice Department said it coordinated the transportation of the drug by boat from Colombia to Culiacán, Los Cabos and other places in Mexico.

The drug trafficker, described by the United States as the “leader” of an international drug trafficking organization, relayed coordinates to the ship’s crew members to arrange a meeting in the Pacific.

The operation was carried out with ships carrying “several kilograms of cocaine” and once the drug arrived in Mexico, other members of the cartel brought it to the United States to sell.

The US authorities accuse him of knowing that the cocaine “would be transported to the United States for further distribution”.
