Ricardo González Sauceda, a leader of the Mexican Cartel del Noreste, was arrested in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Monday after the Mexican President agreed to immediately work with Trump to secure the border.
The cartel boss, who also goes by “El Ricky” and “Mando R,” reportedly has two arrest warrants for attempted homicide and other charges. He is also linked to other incidents of extortion, homicide, and attacks on Mexican federal forces, Laredo Morning Times reports.
González Sauceda is also accused of killing two soldiers in an attack he organized against the Mexican military in Nuevo Laredo.
Mexico’s Navy and National Guard, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Department of Security and Citizen Protection reportedly assisted in the operation.
