U.S. authorities delivered a major blow to drug trafficking networks in Central America with the arrest of Eugenio Darío Molina-Lopéz, the alleged leader of The Huistas, a criminal organization based in northwestern Guatemala.
Also known as "Don Darío," Molina-López was arrested in San Diego and had a $10 million bounty on his head. He is accused of international conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, criminal forfeiture and conspiracy to distribute cocaine aboard a vessel.
