A member of one of Mexico’s most violent drug cartels has pleaded guilty to money-laundering charges, in a federal court hearing in the US on Tuesday.
Jorge Orozco-Sandoval admitted he dropped off nearly $320K (€322.6K) in three separate instalments at a Target store in anticipation of the funds being transferred to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Mexico, according to The Washington Post.
