New charges for South Texas narco: "new charges against accused South Texas-born drug kingpin Edgar Valdez Villarreal.
Valdez Villarreal, 36, faces indictment on drug trafficking charges in Texas and Louisiana, and federal prosecutors now say he supplied cocaine to a drug smuggling ring that sent thousands of pounds of the drug to Atlanta and brought millions of dollars back to Mexico.
From 2004 until 2006, the ring moved the drugs across the border in Laredo in tractor trailers and brought money back the same way, often in millions-of-dollar increments, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta."
