    Head of 'Blondies' cartel arrested in Mexico City

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — Federal police say one of the United States' most-wanted drug traffickers has been arrested at Mexico City's airport.

    U.S. authorities offered a reward of up to $5 million for Luis Rodriguez Olivera, or "Whitey." Olivera and his brother Esteban are accused of smuggling tons of cocaine and methamphetamine into Europe and the U.S.

    Luis Olivera was indicted in U.S. federal court in 2009 on cocaine-smuggling conspiracy and related charges. Federal police said in a statement that the 39-year-old, red-haired suspect was arrested Tuesday.

    His gang was known as "The Blondies." Authorities say it formed temporary allegiances with bigger Mexican cartels, including the Sinaloa cartel, the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.

      "Most Wanted" probably because he was too much competition for whoever the U.S. is backing.
    • goodthinkin  •  4 mths ago
      And there are hundreds just waiting to take his place!
      • jorge 4 mths ago
        hundreds is a severe understatement. hundreds have already taken his place, and thousands are vying for those slots. as long as its illegal why wouldn't they? too much incentive in a country with no money.

      It's a Hydra.

      Every time a truckload of drugs make it into the US, someone has to send tens of millions to the country of origin. So how come we always end up just with the truck driver?

      Follow the money to see who's making the war on drugs a failure.

        Follow the cost of drugs and see were the next war will be!!!!

        good point.
      • S 4 mths ago
        Keep in mind that they get the money *first* before they ship the drugs. Money is much easier to move (think 'wire transfer') than drugs, so the drugs are relatively easy to intercept compared to the money.

        But, yeah, intercepting the money (either electronically, or a physical shipment of cash) would be ideal.

        Probably the one collecting the 5 million reward...........who will then take his place in the drug cartel.
    • dan  •  Salem, Oregon  •  4 mths ago
      And how about we capture the Zetas, Sinaloa, or Gulf Cartel folks, instead of just the messenger?! Or we enforce our border?
      • Abigail 4 mths ago
        Lets take some of the prisoners in this country, put them on a chain gang and let them guard the boarder since killing is what over half of them are convicted of and it's what they like to do. They may as well be of some use rather than sitting in prison pumping iron and playing chess. If they get out of hand and cause trouble, shoot them and replace them with another inmate. It's a win-win situation. We eliminate illegals, drug smugglers and have the chance to reduce the prison population.

        Dan, I guess you do not read the other one like this one are among the top cartel leaders two in a week, Sinaloa and Blondies cartel. It would help if Holder did not supply them with guns.

      Ok, now publicly execute by chopping his head off like the does to his enemies. That would be justice. Televise it so all of his buddies see it.

      They could also catch one of the biggest gun traffickers if they hurry up and arrest the Attorney General of the United States.

      How about all you 99%'rs do the Social thing and BOYCOTT all pot from Mexico or Columbia. Or are you too addicted.
    • Investor  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  4 mths ago
      It's not going to do any good until we curve the demand for illegal substances here. Perhaps a controlled addict program so they don't have to buy it illegally? I don't know. do you?
    • Craig  •  Berwick, Pennsylvania  •  4 mths ago
      there are over 7 billion people on this planet.. legalize everything and those who wanna kill themselves with stupid drug abuse, then.... it's called thinning the herd...
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Washington, District of Columbia  •  4 mths ago
      Very nice and hope he wins a trip to the electric chair. But it won't put a dent in the trafficing until we make certain drugs legal. There are to many people that want the drugs and to much money to be made selling it to these people. Use alchohol as the example. Our corrupt represenatives will never agree because most of them profit, in some way, from illegal drugs. Until we remove the corrupt politicians we are big business for the dealers.
