    Notorious Mexican drug leader extradited from Uruguay to United States

    A 2:45 a.m. Thursday, army and police units extracted Gonzalez Valencia from the Libertad prison and took him to the military area of the Carrasco airport.

    Uruguay on Thursday turned over to the United States a Mexican man wanted on drug and money laundering charges. Gerardo Gonzalez Valencia is the brother of Abigael González, the former head of the Sinaloa cartel faction known as “Los Cuinis” (The Squirrels). Gonzalez Valencia is also the brother-in-law of Jalisco cartel drug lord Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.
