A judge has given the green light for Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, alias “El Viceroy”, the former leader of the Juarez cartel, to be extradited to the United States, according to La Jornada.

Julio Veredín Sena Velázquez, seventh district judge for criminal amparo proceedings, annulled the amparo lawsuit and denied him the protection of federal justice with which the drug lord had sought to stop his extradition to the neighboring country for an indefinite period of time.

On July 27, 2023, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) granted the US government the extradition of 'El Viceroy', who is wanted by the Federal District Court of the Western District of Texas for money laundering and drug trafficking.

That same year, but in September, the same judge Sena Velazquez suspended the indefinite extradition of the brother of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, alias “El Señor de los Cielos.

In 2022, the Viceroy received an additional 20-year prison sentence, according to the Attorney General's Office (FGR), for organized crime to commit crimes against health.

In October 2014, Vicente Carrillo was arrested and placed at the disposal of a judge in order to be interned in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation 2 “Occidente”, located in Puente Grande, Jalisco.

Culiacán, Sinaloa - The man who died instantly in the early hours of Tuesday morning, August 6, on a highway in the municipality of Navolato while trying to change a broken tire on his car was the brother of the late drug trafficker Amado Carrillo Fuentes, better known as 'The Lord of the Skies', according to authorities.

The information indicates that the deceased was Guadalupe Alvarado Carrillo Fuentes, 54 years old, with a known address in the community of El Guamuchilito belonging to the municipality and at the time of the accident he was driving a recent model Chevrolet Spark red car on the north-south lane of the highway that leads from Ejido 5 de Mayo to El Limoncito.


According to the information the victim was changing the rear tire when he was rammed by a vehicle whose characteristics are unknown, since after the accident the driver fled with everything and the unit, while at the site Guadalupe Alvarado died instantly due to the multiple injuries and fractures he suffered.

Minutes later the authorities were alerted about the accident, but at first it was said that it had been a death by gunshot, but upon arrival they confirmed that it was an accident when they found a crosshead and a jack next to the unit as well as a tire so it was confirmed that he was trying to change the tire.

Due to the fact that the deceased had no documents among his belongings that screamed his identity, he remained unknown until this morning when he was identified by his relatives before the corresponding authorities and turned out to be the brother of the well-known drug trafficker who died in the 90s.

Most Powerful Mexican Druglords

We have all heard of wealthy businessmen like Bill Gates – but there is also an underworld of incredibly rich and powerful men who control much of the international trade in drugs.

Their many successes makes one wonder whether there is any point in having a “war” on drugs – it seems to not be helping a great deal. This list looks at the most powerful Mexican drug lords in modern history.


Zhenli Ye Gon

Zhenli Ye Gon born January 31, 1963, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China) is a Mexican businessman of Chinese origin accused of trafficking pseudoephedrine into Mexico from Asia. He is the legal representative of Unimed Pharm Chem México. He is claimed to be tied with the Sinaloa Cartel. He became a citizen of Mexico in 2002.

Two Mexican Federal agents who were involved in the arrests at the Zhenli Ye Gon mansion were found dead in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, as reported on August 2, 2007. It has since risen to $350 million and a lot of his fortune found its way to Las Vegas.

On the Strip, he was known as Mr. Ye, the highest of high rollers. He stayed primarily at the The Venetian (Las Vegas) where he regularly wagered $200,000 per hand in the baccarat salon. He lost big. The original estimate by DEA was $40 million in losses.

They now think it was closer to $126 million — an astonishing sum. When authorities raided his home in Mexico they found $200 million in cold hard cash a photo of which can be seen here.
