A Mexico-based lawyer has pleaded guilty to laundering tens of millions of dollars for the Sinaloa cartel and bringing the proceedings from the U.S. to Mexico.
Concretely, the Department of Justice detailed that the case of Hector Alejandro Paez Garcia is part of a "long-term FBI investigation targeting a Mexico-based money laundering organization" believed to have laundered at least $52.7 million for the cartel before the arrest of its top leaders over the past years.
