The Uruguay Justice Department accepted the petition of the United States for the Mexican narco trafficker Gerardo Gonzalez Valencia, member of Los Cuinis, part of the Catel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, who can be found in prison in Montivideo for suspected money laundering activities.
The Mexican narco trafficker, who was detained at the end of April of 2016 in the Uruguayan Capital city is accused in the United States for the crime in the decade of the 1990's in the State of California, as well as drug trafficking.
In June of 2016, the United States solicited Uruguay for the extradition of Gonzalez Valencia, and the extradition request was finally accepted by the Judge Beatriz Larrieu, according to details of a sentence of the 28th of August passed on today for public opinion from the EFE.
The document concedes the extradition of the Mexican, even though it establishes other conditions, among them that, that of the necessity of obtaining the temporary release or definitive freedom in Uruguay to be able to leave for the United States.
The member of Los Cuinis was arrested during operation Jalisco and later tried for money laundering. Judge Larrieus ruling states that for extradition to take effect, the US authorities must assure the Uruguayan Justice Dept, that Gonzalez Valencia will not be tried or convicted for offences other than those referred to in the extradition request.
The United States will have a term of 40 days from the notification ruling to present the guarantees requested by the Uruguayan justice system.
According to Larrieus ruling, the Mexican is required in the United States from committing drug offenses, specifically a conspiracy to introduce and distribute substances containing detectable amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine.
That offence is sanctioned in the United States with a penalty of not less than ten years of prison.
