Sinaloa Cartel suspects arrested in Colombia
Posted by Grace Brown on Aug 20, 2015

Two suspected members of Mexico’s feared Sinaloa Cartel have been arrested in the north Colombia city of Cartagena, police said Wednesday.

The chief of the Cartagena Police department, General Carlos Ernesto Rodriguez, told media that two Mexican nationals were arrested in Cartagena, Colombia’s most popular tourism destination on the Caribbean coast, while accompanied by their families.

The detainees are thought to be members of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world’s largest international drug trafficking organizations, based in Mexico.

According to Colombian authorities, suspects Osvaldo Contreras Arriaga and Omar Ayon Diaz have been on Interpol’s international wanted list.

Here in the U.S. they apparently go about their business with no admonishment but the occasional chicken-feed fine, and in fact are allowed to co-own one of the two major parties.
