A top assassin for the Sinaloa drug cartel, responsible for the murder, torture, and kidnapping of rivals and witnesses, has been extradited to the U.S. to face charges in a significant development by the Justice Department. Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, also known as El Nini, played a crucial role in the cartel’s criminal drug trafficking enterprise and is linked to the export of fentanyl to the United States. Fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid, has led to around 70,000 overdose deaths annually in the country. The alleged leader of a group providing security for the sons of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, Pérez Salas faces multiple charges including drug, gun, and witness retaliation offenses. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted the significance of the arrest, shedding light on El Nini’s role as one of the Sinaloa Cartel’s lead assassins. The extradition marks a crucial step in dismantling the operations of one of the most powerful drug cartels in the world.
