Dimitrov Mirchev, a prolific arms trafficker from Bulgaria, who once supplied weapons to Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, is said to be the head of a weapons trafficking network that supplied the CJNG military-grade using falsified documents in Africa.
The group also met with cartel members in Europe and Africa to conspire to provide the CJNG with machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, night vision equipment, sniper rifles, anti-personnel mines, and anti-aircraft weapons.
The U.S. Department of Justice unveiled the indictment against four foreigners, led by one from Bulgaria and three from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, accused of drug trafficking and providing military weapons to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
