Brutal Cartel Chief 'The Viceroy' Nabbed In Mexico
Mexican authorities said Thursday the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, the leader of the deadly Juarez drug cartel for whom the FBI had offered a $5 million reward, was arrested Wednesday night without incident. Carrillo Fuentes, 51, took over the Juarez Cartel when his brother, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, died in 1997. Fuentes oversaw a brutal turf war with the rival Sinaloa Cartel, that is believed to have killed more than 8,000 people from 2009 to 2011 in Ciudad Juarez--across the Mexican border from El Paso, Texas. Besides dozens of charges in Mexico, Carrillo Fuentes is also charged in U.S. federal court with murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking and money laundering. http://nbcnews.to/1st7tai http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
