The Criminal Investigation Agency of the PGR detained Nazario Cavazos de Luna, alias Big Papa, in Mexico City, alleged operator of the Cartel del Golfo and included in the most wanted list of the DEA.
The PGR informed that the suspect was captured in a zone of Mexico City, without violence, with an arrest warrant that has an extradition order attached, moved by a Judge of the Sixth District of Federal Penal Processes.
"The arrest of this individual was carried out in strict adherence to due process and at all times his rights were respected", said a PGR spokesman on the arrest of Nazairo Cavazos de Luna.
The Federal Government had already carried out an operation to arrest de Luna, on one of his properties in the town of Bustamante, in the State of Nuevo Leon, but he managed to escape and relocate to the Capital.
Cavazos is required by the Federal Court of the East District of Texas to be prosecuted for his possible responsibility of criminal association, money laundering and possession of firearms.
The extradition warrant ranks him as an alleged operator of the Cartel del Golfo, in an alleged investigation by the DEA that dates back to 2012 and which led to one of his accomplices, Oscar Cantu Ramirez being captured in the United States.
Cantu Ramirez stated, at the time, that he was commissioned by Cavazos to negotiate the purchase of marijuana and cocaine for sale and that he was in possession of money earned from drug trafficking to deliver it personally to de Luna.
John Gottlob, a DEA Agent, testified that, " Big Papa" also employed a subject named Lauro Abel Grimaldo, to hire drivers to distribute the drugs throughout the United States.
The alleged drug trafficker will be placed at the disposal of the Federal Judge who ordered his temporary detention, designated by the Committee for National Security.
