Justice Department prosecutors unsealed an indictment Monday in federal district court in Manhattan targeting a “stunning and sophisticated” alleged drug trafficking operation in Mexico that is accused of pumping cocaine and marijuana into the United States. The indictment contains a $1 billion forfeiture demand.
