Sweeping U.S. indictments brought against Mexican Drug Cartels: But few in custody | Blogs Daily News: "Vicente Carrillo Fuentes is alleged to be the leader of the violent Juarez Cartel, which operates in the Juarez-El Paso corridor, one of the primary drug smuggling routes along the U.S. Mexican border in the Southwest United States. The DEA estimates that approximately 90 percent of the cocaine that enters the United States comes through Mexico. The Juarez Cartel allegedly received multi-ton cocaine shipments in Mexico from the Colombian Norte Valle Cartel and from the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC), a Colombian paramilitary organization and a major drug trafficking organization. According to the indictment, the Juarez Cartel maintained its power through the payment of bribes and through numerous acts of terror, including kidnappings and murder."
