The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has seized $10 million in cryptocurrency from the Mexico-based Sinaloa Cartel in recent weeks, and warned about the manufacture of methamphetamine disguised as pharmaceutical drugs aimed at young people in the United States.
On July 15, Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced a series of what she called “successful operations” that are part of the DEA’s Operation Recover America, carried out in recent weeks, to eradicate illegal drugs from the United States and protect the population, the Department of Justice (DOJ) reported in a statement. Bondi was accompanied by DEA acting administrator Robert Murphy.
