Ten current and former Mexican officials, including the governor of Sinaloa, are facing federal charges in the U.S. that accuse them of conspiring with cartels to traffic drugs into the country.
"As alleged, each of the defendants has participated in a corrupt and violent drug trafficking conspiracy with the Cartel to import massive amounts of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine from Mexico into the United States," U.S. federal prosecutors alleged.
